"I know who I am! … I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as the other dude.”
“Let’s go make the greatest movie ever.”
Review by Bam (Spoilers Herein)
Word up party people. BAM here to tell you about the
greatest movie about a bunch of silly bastards making a war movie. Later on our
intrepid heroes err . . . assholes get caught up in a real war and have
to save one of their own.
The trailers for fake movies/ads like Simple Jack, Booty Sweat Scorcher, and Devil's Alley are stereotypical and funny. I don’t know what is more f---ed up, using the stereotype of gay monks or the fact that movies like that actually get made. Super green eyed Robert Downey and Little F--ker Tobey Maguire are rather convincing as gay (When I call someone a little f--ker then they are really small in stature). I guess that is why it is called method acting (Just kidding guys)! The movie’s other tie-ins are incredible. Famous techno guys "The Crystal Method" made an awesome theme song complete with funny sayings from the movie. Go visit the website and hear for yourself. Your ears will be blasted with some dope beats.
The fourth wall continues to be broken with a strong parody of Hollywood types and ultimately ourselves as consumers of their fare. We have the loser action star (ala Van Damme, Stallone, Lundgren, and even Willis) in the form of Ben Stiller’s Sgt. 4-leaf. I have heard the complaint that Stiller should have bowed out for one of those aforementioned dudes. Like some of other reviewers with taste I’m glad Stiller stayed because we might one day see his rendition in the full Simple Jack movie.
Ben’s performance isn’t supposed to be the funniest - rather he is the all important straight man to Robert Downey, Jr.’s, megalomaniacal-ly awesome Kirk Lazarus. Sure, other actors are in the movie but it felt like everyone was just supporting this scene stealing ass-kicking performance. It’s not to say that the other actors weren’t funny, it was more like having a random-ass high school schoolyard team with Kobe Bryant on it.
The same kind of scene stealing goes for the studio boss Lew Grossman. You will recognize this actor but I will not tell you his name. I want you to enjoy that bald fat hairy-chest rap superstar scummy cheap I-will-sell-my-family-for-a–few-bucks-mother- f--ker’s performance.
Rather than actually pimping out Alpha-Chino’s (Brandon T. Jackson) BOOTY SWEAT (needless to say I will probably still have a bottle.), the movie should be selling Downey’s piss to give it to random-sh--ty Hollywood actors based on this performance and his Tony Stark. It is amazing how a rich white guy effortlessly becomes the soon to be great African American Sgt. Osiris.
I would have to say that the stereotypes of our zeitgeist are damn funny and worth seeing on the screen. I would have to say that if you are easily offended, then this may not be your cup of tea. Later Gang.
