I thought it was really funny. Best comedy of the year so far, for me.

I thought it was funny too, but it was difficult making out RD Jr at times. The opening trailers were awesome!

I laughed a lot, it was a great skewering of different hollywood types. Loved RDJ's speech about why Simple Jack did not get an Oscar...

I thought it was pretty funny. I didn't think it was genius by any stretch of the imagination, but it was funny.
The two best things in the movie were Robert Downey Jr. saying "That smelled just like baloney for some reason" after taking a piss, and Tom Cruise's performance (damn him).

My favorite part was the movie in a movie, where Stiller is getting William DaFoe-ed, and it cuts to Downey Jr staring intently, and he says, "SURVIVE".

We saw it tonight, and hadn't really planned on it. It was a very pleasant surprise. Personally, the high point was Jack Black screaming My ass! My ass!. ...which goes a long way to tell you what kind of film it was. Oh, and Steve Coogan gettin' all blowed up was pretty durn funny too

I'm glad I wasn't the only one having trouble deciphering Downey Jr's dialogue.
But still, it was a fantastic movie. Most laughs I've had in one since Superbad.

I liked it. It was funny. Wife did not. She thought it was stupid.
This is one of those Id have to be careful about who i recommend it to.

I liked it. I don't know why you guys were unable to understand RDJ, I had no problem at all.

I didn't care for it. It was hard to hear Downey and most of the jokes were in the trailer.

I still think Cruise was funny only because he was Cruise. And Downey's lines? It was difficult to make it all out, but even when I couldn't understand it was funny. It almost seemed intentional.

Chris wrote: Allen is difficult to please. Not really. I'm not a big fan of celebrity fawning so I didn't care for Cruise in the movie as it seemed to be all about "look at Tom act like a jerk". Downey Jr. was great in the role but there was too much slapstick stuff, which I don't personally care for. Rawburn wrote: I still think Cruise was funny only because he was Cruise. Eehh. Maybe I'll like it better with repeat viewings. That's what happened to me with Anchorman and Along Came Polly
