I love this movie, but it's not on the DVD. Awesome!!!

Cruise is so good when he has no creative control over a film. The guy can act, but he's mad as a cut snake.

Director Anderson was "aware" of Jeffries' nonsense, but the Mackey character is nothing like Jeffries, who looks like Harold Ramis crossed with a turd.

I have a complete unreasoning hatred of tom cruise. I won't go see any movie with him in it. I almost didn't watch this because I hate him so much. I certainly see him being a shallow jerk, but the only acting I saw was ... oh I can't say it. I still hate him. I'm sure it was a fine scene though. They should have kept it in.

So that's how he snagged his current robot.

Forget PTAnderson, the reason why Cruise was good in Magnolia is because unlike in other movies in this one he didn't have to pretend to be somebody else.

This man could fill a *douche channel by himself.

He was the best part in that movie. Just hilarious! I need to watch that again...

i feel exactly the same as oxdottir, so i am just going to cut and paste that comment:

Religious/cult affiliations aside. I still think the man is a fine actor.

Tom Cruise can certainly act but rarely does he do so. And yea, he's also completely balls-to-the-wall crazy.

He was however, hilarious in Tropic Thunder.
