Home Run

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2008)

This movie will go down as a classic.
The leading trio of Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. were all on their A-games. Stiller proves to be an excellent director. The dialogue was hilarious. The characters were masterfully carried out by the actors.
But, Tom Cruise steals the show. His character is so hilariously over the top funny, everyone else pales by comparison. I was totally blown away by his ability to be self-deprecating and immerse himself in such a character that has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I couldn't stop laughing every time he was on the screen. He even sent me out of the theater laughing out loud. Great movie, but definitely earned its R rating. I will see it again and buy the DVD.
