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. | | | | Reply | | |

This is a much hyped film . There is nothing extraordinary about this film. Except few scenes the movie , as a whole, is boring and monotonous. | | | | Reply | | |

Having good line up of actors, it totally failed to be a good movie. Too much crude sexual humor ruins a good thing. | | | | Reply | | |

Good story. Great casts and few funs. It went too long on the action scenes. Even then it could have been much better. | | | | Reply | | |

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. | | | | Reply | | |
