Robert Downey Jr, is good playing a veiled Russel Crowe. Some of his scenes are hilarious. He makes this a decent movie. Without him, its a 5 0r a 6.

There is a superb dig, at Toby Maguire. Downey Jr's character, is referred to as 5 time Oscar winner. Toby Maguire won the MTV best kiss award in 2003

Tom Cruise playing a studio boss/Rupert Murdoch character. It starts off well, however I think, they over do it. The film concludes with Tom Cruise dancing. Which is too much. They made the joke already.

There may have been a reference to Cruise, on Oprah, with Stiller on Tyra. Though Stiller, did not jump on the couch.
I thought there was a flaw, with Stiller's character. He was a multi millionaire. Who cares, if people stop watching his movies. Why is he unmarried. Why? He is a Hollywood star. Dean Gaffney can blag women into bed.
I also think it would have been better, to have had. A jobbing actor, rather then a rapper, playing the ``real'' black guy

This film, did cause controversy with the constant use of the word Retard. When referring to Stiller's character, in another film he made. My sisters said they went overboard, with this. What bugged me, was Mathew Macongahy. Who in the movie complains about his son. His son, is seen in a picture, and on a plane. The son, is never shown making eye contact. So, are they hinting there is some condition with Mathews son? Which just make's the joke nasty. Making the kid, fat, or ugly, or it clear Mathew M, was an obvious cuckold , is one thing. This was not explained well

I was confused with one scene. I thought the Agent. (Mathew M, was being bribed, with the contract of the rising star. The rapper. He was not.
There are a lot of Cameo's. Jon Voight, and Alicia Silverstone, at the Oscar scene. Quite a large cast, of Hollywood comic actors. Steve Coogan to Danny McBride.
The Karen's, a Burmese people, were lead by twin boys, at one time. They smoked cigars. This may be the inspiration of the drug gang leader
There is discussion on why Blue ray, beat out HDD. It was down to gaming and porno.
There are some laugh out loud moments. Something's that really needed to be re thought/   If you get this on DVD, feel free to fast forward
