Interesting film that mixes genres successfully and showcases Stiller as a genuine director not just for comedy. The film maintains a frenetic pace for the first half but the jokes soon run dry as it moves to a rescue mission. I understand the films success but it isn't a classic or remembered as fondly as many other comedies. The film is well cast with some hilarious movie promos at the beginning, poking fun at the mega budgeted films of Hollywood. I liked the film and would recommend it but it's not a great film, not a cult film like Zoolander. Stiller should make more films as director as he clearly has an eye for the craft. 06-10-2017.

A pretty bad movie. Not very funny either.

It took me a while to get around to seeing this. I like the idea of it and the fact it isn't afraid to poke fun and parody the big Hollywood names. Not as funny as it could have been but it is still enjoyable.

One of the smartest comedies I've ever seen; hyper self-aware. Consistently funny and often laugh out loud hilarious, both in concept and execution.
