Ben Stiller vs Adam Sandler



I am a big fan of Ben Stiller.. erm, since ‘There Is Something About Mary’! It is not that late, it is probably about 10 years after he started his acting career. I have been waiting for Ben Stiller’s new movie for a few months.. and here it came in the summer! Tropic Thunder!! And of cause Ray and I watch it in the cinema. It is the best and the funniest comedy I ever watch in this 2 years. I never stop laughing in the cinema. Hehehe..
The story is about the film stars Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), five-time Academy Award-winner Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey, Jr.), rap star Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson), low-brow drug-addled comedian Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), and character actor Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel) as a group of prima donna actors making a Vietnam War film when their fed-up writer and director decide to abandon them in the middle of the jungle, forcing them to fight their way out while the director videoed them with the hidden video to produce a real documentary film. The film breaks Speedman's streak of flops and he wins the award for Best Actor, presented to him by the previous year's Oscar winner, Kirk Lazarus. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropic_Thunder)
You might find out there are a little not realistic in this movie e.g. the Heroin producer in Golden Triangle is speaking Mandarin and the team is lead by a young boy etc. But, who care? It is just a comedy. Just for laugh…

The Tugg Speedman




Adam Sandler, another comedy actor that Ray likes a lot. He was doing pretty well in some of the comedies. But not the recent ‘You Don’t Mess With The Zohan’. It is about the super Israeli commando, Zohan Dvir, who is sick of combat and fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist. He romances his clients by giving them "special services" in the back room. However, he is eventually recognized, and risks losing his newfound life and career. (from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960144/plotsummary)
I usually enjoy Adam Sandler's movies. However this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Ray and I watched this movie in 3 days. It was boring and awful and we can’t continue in one time. One word --- Disappointed.
