Awful Film

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2009)

This film is terrible. Maybe if you're 11 years old, it's entertaining, but it was so boring and insulting to my intelligence I couldn't stand it. I tried to watch it again because it was on cable and I thought maybe I was too harsh the first time I saw it, but upon the second viewing, I was reminded of how awful it was and couldn't continue watching it.
It is impossible to believe that the Ben Stiller character is so stupid that he'd believe he and his fellow actors were being filmed by hidden cameras in the jungle. Jack Black's character had one dimension and was annoying and boring. Nick Nolte was underutilized as was Danny McBride. This is a story not worth telling. Everything is predictable and boring.
Ben Stiller is an excellent actor and should stick to acting, not directing.
