Movie Review Summary

This film came with lots of good reviews so I had high expectations. As I’ve said elsewhere, I think Ben Stiller is a good actor, but perhaps what he’s doing now is more stereotyping his best humour. This film unfortunately didn’t even get to that level. The jokes weren’t funny, Stiller’s character went beyond wimpy (even he was meant to be playing some kind of Rambo) and the film was difficult to watch as I’m sure “actual” film they’re meant to be shooting was going to be.
