BRILLIANT concept/advertising - UTTERLY HORRIBLE movie

Rating: 2/10 (14 August 2008)

The biggest waste of money I have witnessed in a blockbuster, maybe ever. I heard they spent $150 million making this, I don't think it's worth more than $150. Absolutely NOT funny, NOT entertaining, and NOT worth a thing. This movie is a complete MARKETING trick and experiment. The IDEA for the movie - BRILLIANT. The trailers/advertising - GENIUS. The movie itself - A COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT.
Black is himself: annoying and not funny, as always. Stiller is wearing out fast - his dry sarcasm no longer even induces smiles, and Downey's performance is entertaining to watch, but lacks inducing a SINGLE laugh throughout the entire movie. The "retard jokes" they are receiving tons of criticism for are so distasteful and stale, that I am siding with the "retarded people" on this - those jokes are not even worth having in the movie because they're not funny!!!
I don't know what any of these guys were thinking? Even Tom Cruise plays a stupid role in the movie. This has to be the worst script of 2008, hands down. It is so amateurishly incoherent. It's extremely disappointing that Justin Thereoux now has this on his belt, because it's a huge blow to him. What a horrible writing debut!!! I honestly could not believe how terrible this was. My choice for worst movie of the year. Probably the biggest scam/disappointment of the decade. Avoid this movie at all costs.
