Booty sweat, bust-a-nut-bar, Robert Downey Jr. acting in black face, Ben Stiller going full retard, Tom Cruise behaving like a raging hairy (why is he so fucking hairy?) psychopath. This movie came out in 2008 but, is nonetheless, still hilarious and worth another watch or a first for those who have not seen it.
The plot, without any spoilers, is as follows: five actors, Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, and Brandon Jackson play the roles of five melodramatic and abysmal actors making a Vietnam war film based on a Vietnam veteran's war experience. The five actors, after failing to cooperate with their director on scene, are dropped off in the Vietnam jungle and told to follow a map to a location where they will be evacuated from the jungle. Along their journey, the five man platoon is supposed to encounter simulated wartime explosions, gunfire, and other battle like activities. However, they are lead off course and Stiller is captured by a gang of Vietnamese drug lords. The rest are left to fend for themselves in the jungle dealing with Jack Black's character going through heroin withdraw, and Downey Jr.'s character alienating Jackson's character (a black guy by nature) by staying in character as black face, among other things.
This movie is a comedy through and through and not meant to be any kind accurate telling of the Vietnam War or a depiction of true events. Although there is some blood, guts, and gore, it is related to the shenanigans that these characters find themselves engaged in due to their own dumb-ass antics, not because of any meaningful battles during the Vietnam War. This is not a Saving Private Ryan or We Were Soldiers type movie so do not come into it thinking it is.
For those of you who have not seen it, I highly recommend this movie if you are not uber-sensitive to people making fun of mentally retarded folks or have low tolerance for race induced humor. For those of you who have seen it, then I recommend watching it again because, simply put, it's freaking hilarious. I would almost go as far to say that Robert Downey Jr. should have won an award for his performance because how many other actors can do black face and get away with it without being chastised and publicly ruined for it?
Anyway, let us know what you thought about this movie in the comment section below.

ReplyDeleteThis article's arch objectives are to demonstrate entertainment's harmful effects on society and to explain how seemingly innocent, harmless social patterns deliver deadly economic blows to society's masses. Although, on the surface; the seemingly tame, inoccuous behavior of entertainment appears to be so refreshing and reassuring; closer inspection of contemporary entertainment's disposition unkennels disturbing truths about the nature of the world. It reveals keen insight about how the world works and uses innocent things such as entertainment and sports to suck society's masses into the brawling, cosmic chasm of pauperdom and mediocrity. This article points out the fact that, quite often, things are not what they seem to be. Although some things may look ever so harmless and wholesome; closer scrutiny and analysis of them often reveal facts contrary to what was first thought. And, as it turns out, contemporary entertainment is anything but a refreshingly relaxing pastime; rather, it is the insidious tool of heartless billionaires who callously employ it to distract society's oppressed and down-trodden. It blinds society's masses to the raw truth of their false enthusiasm and misguided understanding about its real role in the strange charade of human society. hire strippers
