Stiller's new comedy sort of similar to the Three Amigos from what I can tell. Robert Downey Jr. is getting a hard look on this one for playing an actor who decides to play the role of a black character with the assistance of make-up. That of course is him in the middle. I think he kind of looks like Denzel. What do you think?

looks nothing like Denzel, but surprisingly black looking none-the-less.

Is that Jack Black as well?
Imagine I wrote something witty. It is just easier on all of us that way.

That photo alone is hilarious.

Let's hope it isn't another piece of s***!

Totally was seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman there. And yeah, the make up works - least for that picture.

I enjoyed the trailer, and honestly, I like Stiller when he's doing stuff like this as opposed to his Something About Mary schtick. After two good movies with the same basic premise (Three Amigos, Galaxy Quest), I wonder if another one will be as funny. This looks like it's worth giving a shot over the sheer ballsiness of Robert Downey Jr.'s character, if nothing else.

I thought Robert Downey Jr was fantastic in that...really commited himself to the character.

I hadn't heard of this movie until I saw the trailer before "The Ruins" yesterday. It looks great! Robert Downey Jr. is totally unrecognizable with the makeup on. I am looking forward to this one. Guess that makes two Downey Jr. movies this year I must see.

I just watched Stiller on Extras again last night and I'm primed for him to play another psychotic egomaniac.
