When i first saw the trailer for this movie i thought it would be funny but just a little bit stupid...like every comedy movie...but my expectations where doubled :D it was hilarious! Ben Stiller plays an older more experienced action actor. Jack Blake...pretty much plays himself...a comedian actor who is...experienced in the art of..."night life" shall we say... and...Iron Man...i say iron man cause i don't know his real name :P...plays a more serious actor who gets REALLY into his movies...The movie was very funny and even at the parts were i had no idea of what they were saying was still hilarious :D on a scale from 1-500 ill give it a...468!
