Toddled on to see this much awaited film courtesy of www.movies.ie (i fully reccomend you get your butt over there and register for all the movie goodness they have to offer!). I hope it just isn’t my warped sense of humour but i firmly believe if you are not hurting from laughter from the opening scenes in this film there really is something wrong with you!
The film is about a handful of actors (and their egos) are thrown into a battlefield / action film and they believe it’s purely acting but when people start blowing up and actors are getting ransomed the comedy of this film really turns up a notch.
The characters played by Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise make this film for me.
Ah dont read the script dammit, script reads me. .
Not gonna bother commenting on the whole use of the ‘R’ bomb in the particular scene. Obviously there are people who have their own individual reasons for not wanting to see the film, and that’s fine. To me the film surpassed all of what ended up being a small enough portion of the film.
I would reckon this film is one to watch in the cinema. I’ve never been in a screening where so many people laughed so hard and together at what was happening on screen.
I’m shit at meme’s. Anthony tagged me, and seen as i have feck all to blog about. .

i chose not to pass this meme on as I will probably burn in hell.
I can only compare this film to the first time i actually used Cillit Bang. I had seen the Adverts, had seen what it could do but didn’t believe it. Then I used it and was shocked, nay amazed. As blown away as much as a cleaning product will blow away a twenty something young male, this film blew me away and will blow you A-WAY.
I went to see this movie on it’s preview night last week, fairly sure it was the first night it was opening on and ever expecting it to be fairly packed we decided to book tickets online just to assure that we got a look in. My how wrong we could have been, I’ve been to many of the pre-launch previews and they are always packed but I would easily estimate there were 20 people in the #1 screen in omni. More spreadage space I says as I undid the belt a couple notches and started on nourishing popcorn feast for one!
I had seen the trailers for this film and had seen Will Smith being interviewed on the Johnathon Woss show and it had sealed the deal. I loved the twist they put on the super hero character by making him an alcoholic layabout. It starts with all the same style gags you see in the trailer and Will Smith plays the character brilliantly.
These gag moments won’t make the film on their own, the plot has to take a turn at some stage and when it does it shifts to an unexpected avenue. In my view this is where the film is a let down. It shifts too drastically form a hillarious goof plot to a romantic buzz theme that just doesn’t keep you interested. In my view there was a lot of scope to develop Will Smith’s character a lot more than was done.
In a year where there haven’t been a lot of decent mainstream films out it would be worth a trip to the cinema but don’t expect too much from the second half of the movie.
Hairyfish is a compilation of the worst and best on the web. It is sometimes personal, sometimes funny, but never late.
If you enjoy slacks as much as i do, feel free to leave a comment. Ben
