I laughed quite hard in this. Ben Stiller reprises his driven bonehead shtick, this time as the lead actor dropped into a real war-zone by mistake during the filming of an Apocalypse Now style epic. The jokes come thick, fast and close to the line of decency (as good comedy should), mocking both the Hollywood machine and his own profession; backed up with some startling cameos.

The jokes that don’t hit are quickly followed by gags that do and you’re never too far from a proper belly laugh, mostly supplied by Robert Downey Jr. He takes a role that could have been massively offensive (you don’t see actors in blackface much anymore) but succeeds in lampooning the actor’s tendancy to pomposity with some acute observations amongst the other silliness.
