This is a truly good comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2009)

With all negativity aside, I thought this was truly a good comedy, sure it was crude and offensive, but its not the first and definitely won't be the last, and I'll let in on a little secret, you get people complaining that this movie is offensive because it uses the word retard a lot for example, now take those very same people put them in a bar, give them enough booze, and then observe at how many times they use a few words over and over, my point is people sometime just look for an excuse to be full of it.
The movie itself is funny as hell, and boast a lot of likable characters like Kirk Lazurus (Robert Downey Jr.), Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), and the dweeb of a director who fancies himself Oliver Stone (Steve Coogan), Just naming a few, and for Ben Stiller a guy I figured I don't like for some reason I can't place my finger on, did a great job as director, and Tom Cruise, this is probably the first time I've seen him change his appearance, I think, because every film I saw him in that I can remember, he pretty much looked the same, this time he actually has a bold head.
Overall, go see this movie, and if you don't like it for some reason then too bad, just move on and find something else.
