I went to this film with some reservations after reading some reviews, but it was awesome, tom cruise was quality as Len Grossman, stole the show, downey jnr was brilliant as was stiller and Black.
If you want a film with loads of laughs go see this. the scenes with downey jnr are superb, he really gets into character although his not really that character.

I wasn't sure what to expect when watching the trailor and reading the reviews, but i was more than happy when the film got going.
Black, brilliantly playing the comedian drug addict really opened up.
I did know what to make of it at first, but can say its definatly worth 4 stars...
