I caught this again the other day. I think it was like the 3rd time I've seen it.

I'm declaring this a top 5 comedy of all time. It is for me at least.

You have to watch it a few times to appreciate some of the lines. And the messed up plot and concept of the damn thing is pretty hilarious in itself.

I will say. I don't know whose performance was funnier. Downey or Cruise.

Besides being funny,it was really different than 99% of the crap that tries to pass it self off as a comedy nowadays.

Right. That's what I said initially. The concept of this comedy was original. It was also cool to see actors mocking the acting profession in a movie. The cast was mocking themselves and Hollywood.

That movie is funny as shit. If you don't think so, you probably find W&S a laugh riot.

That was the brilliance behind it. The movie was mocking the fact that a dumb ass actor would do such a thing.

The end credits with Cruise dancing over the Ludacris song is awesome. Best part of the movie for me.

Despite loving the movie I think it's something that would have a huge drop off in entertainment on a second viewing.

No. I liked it more the 3rd time. Cuz some of the lines go by you. It's actually tough to catch Downey with his Southern accent if you're not really paying attention.

Give me a good comedy that I should watch from the last 3-5 years. I look at my ON DEMAND at all the free shit and never know what's good. I've missed a lot of movies. I don't pay attention to what people say. I don't want to start something that sucks.
