Had a few big laughs. Big surprise- Tom Cruise. Man he ruled the screen during his scenes. I had no idea he could be this damn funny. Second great actor- Robert Downey Jr.- the idea of a "method actor" taking up Amos and Andy speech patterns for a black role was funny and he carried it out with his usual flair. The bad- Ben Stiller, whose mugging I rarely think is very funny. Jack Black, wasted. A bunch of half-baked ideas, such as the young drug lord. The audience I saw it with laughed some, but they weren't rolling in the aisles. The last time I had that rare experience was Death At a Funeral.
