Let's face it, how many times is Stiller going to do the same role over and over before they realize it doesn't work? That's the thing, although we've seen him play the same character about five million times in that last few years, and in many a film that weren't that great, it's still funny. No epic films, yes, but they're all pretty much worth watching. Anyone with insanely intense mannerisms and quirks combined with autistic knome-troll disease is funny. He'd be fun to keep in a box in your bedroom and then let him lose when you have a party or just have some friends over. He'd be great for that.
There's nothing terribly new here, another Ben Stiller flick with the same crap we've seen before, however, it does have it's moments. I particularly enjoyed Owen Wilson here, probably because I can finally look at him and not just see his nose. What's up with that honker anyway? There seemed to be quite a bit of natural chemistry between Stiller and Wilson. Vince Vaughn also plays himself here, and as always, is fun and enjoyable to watch. And I'll take Juliette Lewis any way I can get her. Snoop Dogg, hmmm. He can't really act, but he earned a few points with me here for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that he was able to get over himself for a minute or two and actually submit to getting bitch-slapped on film. That was totally unexpected but I liked it. Respeck.
The film itself is fairly corny but is what is to be expected from a spoof. I particularly enjoyed the car and Stiller's obsessive compulsive behavior surrounding it. Nice driving scenes too. OK, there's no need for an in depth analysis. Parts of it suck and parts of it are funny. It's not a classic, but it's not a turd either. If you like Stiller, Wilson or Vaughn you should find some interesting things herein...even if it's just a very slightly above average comedy.
