I tend to be a sucker for physical comedy, so I loved this. I lost it when Stiller killed the panda and discovered what he had been slashing at in the darkness. He was never the same after that. Too funny. I agree that Tom Cruise was great in this but only because the role is so fitting for him. He's a couch-dancing jerkoff, so it would be nice if this kind of self-deprication was the only kind of role he got for the rest of his career. It also made a nice bookend with his dancing in risky business which launched his career with his undies dance to Bob Seeger.

The other highlight was right at the beginning, with the faux previews that introduced the characters. After seeing a bunch of horrible real previews that might as well have been jokes, the spoofs were a breath of fresh air.
