    I think the premise of the movie was very good. I also believe once it comes out on DVD I will find it to be funnier than it was in the theatre. This movie is more about sticking it to Hollywood than giving you non-stop laughs.

    Saw it. Lots of funny stuff, a few things that were really funny.

    Not a home run, but a pretty solid comedy that hits more often than it misses. And what a performance by Tom Cruise!

    7/10.

    It's hard to believe that is Robert Downey Jr.

    That guy's got some chops. :yes:

    Hard to believe it was Tom Cruise. Didn't realize it until halfway through.

    Took the kidlets. They thought it was funny.

    Gonna have to make them watch Apocalypse Now. Oh and Kentucky Fried Movie.

    OK I thought it was funny too. Didn't read any summaries or reviews. Had low expectations. Still chuckling over the head scene.

    I think Jack Black should play William Shatner playing Kirk.

    Platoon is awesome. I saw it in a real theater when it first came out.
