After reading all the positive arty reviews of the film, this monkey decided to follow along and rent it. No, I don't hate it, but if you want to be entertained, then don't bother. There is absolutely no entertainment value here. If you want to see art, go to a museum. The paintings will probably move as fast as the pace of this movie. And if you don't care for climaxes, this is your flic, although who doesn't like a good climax? Very boring, very useless, very annoying (why have the two naked chicks scream like that! ugh). This monkey will now retire from any old artsy films, thank you. Leave this one for the film school crowd.

This is one heck of a funny show! It is fresh, innovative and hilarious. On a personal note, the cast was on a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and we were there in Times Square and they were the most fun to watch of all the "entertainers" that drove by. They truly enjoyed being there and were yelling to the crowd and having a fun time with it. Their honesty as humans shines through in their portrayals of their characters on the show. Excellent job.

Went to rent this movie Saturday night at Blockbuster and it was sold out. Got the free rain check and saw it yesterday. It was hysterical. Additionally, when Stiller first meets DeNiro, I felt as uncomfortable as Stiller did. DeNiro and Stiller play so well off each other. I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. This is a funny movie. Stiller's dead pan looks and DeNiro's sly smirk work perfectly. Yes, the situations are a bit far fetched, but it's a comedy! I don't normally comment about other comments, but in general, there were some comments that talk about lack of surprise or lack of story or lack of interest. I am wondering what makes people interested in a comedy in the first place, laughing. If you can't just sit back and enjoy the laughs in this movie, that is so sad. Of course it's not a thinking movie, just let the good times roll over you!
