I'll keep this short and just say I went to a late-night screening of this movie, and was laughing from the fake-trailer a la "Grindhouse" beginning to Tom Cruise's "Risky Business" updated dance-fest at the end. It is totally hilarious! Lots of cameos, lots of funny bits. Robert Downey Jr. steals the movie for me.
I like the take-offs from "Platoon" and "Apocalype Now." I like the fact that Ben & Co. weren't afraid to poke fun at everyone: mentally impaired, minorities, etc. It's a comedy, people! And they were biting the hand that feeds them by showing the obnoxious, silly, and self-important crew members, director, studio execs, and agents. I used to work for people like this, and the smug attitude was spot-on.
Can't wait till the DVD comes out with all the behind-the-scenes bloopers and outtakes. They all must have been falling out when making this movie. I know I practically fell out of my seat laughing at the movie theater.
