It is one of the few movies that I have enjoyed to my heart's content. Especially Robert Downey needs special mentioning. I think every one should go and watch the movie.
This movie is very good, but not extraordinary. Tom Cruise' character is the funniest character in the movie. Excellent work from the main cast of Stiller, Downey Jr, and Black as well as the supporting cast of Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise. I really enjoyed this movie.
