Overrated but crazy fun film

Rating: 6/10 (18 March 2014)

This film has had huge acclaim for it's comedic value but I don't believe it deserves the huge praise it got because it just isn't that funny. This film stars good performances from Robert Downey Jnr, Jack Black and Ben Stiller which helped really carry the majority of this film through the boring parts. The premise of this film is a bunch of actors stuck in a real life warzone and there are some good dialogue exchanges which are funny and carry this film. However, there isn't any moments in this film where you really laugh and nothing happens occasionally where you want either the funny exchanges or the great action. But this film is truly improved by the appearance of Tom Cruise as the businessman in this film he absolutely kills it with his attitude to every situation plus his dance moves are great. With these actors providing really good performances with a good premise but not really as funny as I wanted it is a good film but nowhere near perfection.
