ooooooh yer makin' these promises hard, SG....have never liked ANY Ben Stiller films, suffered through about 20 minutes of Zoooolander....

Ahh the heady early days of Jim Carrey's superstardom. I saw this and was a bit let down. The script needed to be tighter. This was the first $20 million dollar acting salary. Ben Stiller directed.

HAHA! LMFAHS.

No. The invocation is *discard, not *delete.

The steroid-meathead at the end of the vid reminded me of Ben Stiller's character in Dodgeball...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Yeah bamdrew - that Ben Stiller guy comes across as a complete dweeb. Fox News has a habit of choosing uncharismatic schmoes to champion whatever side they want to lose. I give you Colmes of Hannity and Colmes.

hah, Jack Thompson actually wins a debate. And he makes his son do stings at best buy and circuit city. Ben Stiller sure has hit the bottom of the barrel on the other side of the screen.

For me, this was the last, best hope for the Farrelly brothers. After Something About Mary, I couldn't wait to see anything they'd put out. A few horrible stinkers later this one again with old Ben Stiller really got me thinking they'd bring the magic again. And then I watched it...

It is terribly unfunny. It drags on with gag after gag that failed to even put a smirk on my face. The first 10 minutes or so kept the full audience I was in utterly silent, save for the old guy a couple seats over, wrestling with his bag of popcorn. No laughs. No giggles. Maybe a few people shedding tears.

It gets just slightly better later, but goes from the unfunny, to the ridiculous, to the stupid. Save your 10 bucks (or your 10 hours, if you go the torrent route .

Also, make sure you miss We Own the Night, but Elizabeth: The Golden Age was good except for its anti-climactic ending.

[edit]
I think I'll turn this into a Cinema Talk post.

It was that bad? Maybe I won't pay to see it then.

I like Ben Stiller...really, I do but this was utter trash. Thankfully it was only a pilot.

i figure ben stiller is in the title, but really isn't this more jack black, even if ben stiller directed it. my apologies if you disagree
