This movie is hilarious and very intelligently made. Anyone who doesn't like it needs to understand that this is a select group of big name movie stars basically making fun of big name movie stars and the movie industry as a whole. It's sort of a big-budget, quality spoof movie that makes fun of how serious entertainment people take themselves.

My favorite parts:
- Any time Tom Cruise's character was on
- When Ben S calls Matthew McC on satin lite phone.
- when Ben S and RDJ are peeing in the woods and trying to bribe that young kid with future roles in movies.
- "who is the key grip? Go punch that director in the face... Really fricking hard."
- "you're more shredded than a Julianne salad"
- Stiller going all "Apacolypse Now"
- damn... I can't stop. The whole movie is hilarious.

I loved this movie.

My favorite parts were:

1# RDJ's role as the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

2# The fact that I did not know that was Tom Cruise until they showed it at the end credits. Talk about facepalm on my part

Robert Downey Jr's character is hilarious


He actually doesn't break character and does the DVD commentary as Lincoln Osiris.



Here he is screwing around off set in character

I did not really like this movie the first time I saw it. I thought parts were funny but overall it was just ok.

Tom Cruse was great.

But after I watched a 2nd time and did not really have to follow the movie but could just watch it and catch all of the line, I found it really funny. And now I catch myself watching any time it comes on.

fricking movie.

Our neighbors hated it! On their review I only gave it a passing glance on HBO. Then SAT and watched it again. I was crying. Jack Black "jones-ing" is fricking awesome. "I want to wear his skin like a unitard."

The whole role of Matthew McConaughey, although small, is hilarious. Especially when he is having the conversation with Stiller about how he wasn't as lucky with his "adopted" son, then he looks at the picture on his desk.

If you have the chance watch it with the commentary on. Robert Downey does the entire thing in character and he even switches characters when he does in the movie. It's absolutely hilarious
This X 1000. Love when Jack Black shows up late to the commentary with fast food. RDJ goes off on him for a while.

The movie seriously gets better every time you see it. I watched it like2 weeks ago and was rolling. Pretty much every line in the entire film is quotable

A legit classic, always watch when it's on HBO. I'm just waiting for Scorcher 10.
