Had a few big laughs. Big surprise- Tom Cruise. Man he ruled the screen during his scenes. I had no idea he could be this damn funny. Second great actor- Robert Downey Jr.- the idea of a "method actor" taking up Amos and Andy speech patterns for a black role was funny and he carried it out with his usual flair. The bad- Ben Stiller, whose mugging I rarely think is very funny. Jack Black, wasted. A bunch of half-baked ideas, such as the young drug lord. The audience I saw it with laughed some, but they weren't rolling in the aisles. The last time I had that rare experience was Death At a Funeral.

Zoolander? I fell out of my chair after seeing the memorial statue to the gas station accident. Hit the ground during the "Derileek" or whatever fashion show too.

You didn't answer my question, when did you figure "it" out???

We'll have to agree to disagree about human caused global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along.

  what is there to figure out? The movie about the making of a movie?

    The very beginning, where you have the phony booty juice etc. then the phony movie trailers. I figured it out in the middle of Stiller's first phony movie trailer. Before that I was trying to remember if they were selling booty juice at the snack bar I had just been to. I roared throughout those trailers.

      I knew pretty much from the tone of that first ad that the movie had already started. The trailer with Ben Stiller was the dead giveaway on that. I knew we were into Tropic Thunder.
