It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Most "comedies" aren't funny to me so it takes a lot for me to ever see one.  I don't really get the controversy over Robert Downy Jr. playing a black guy.  I think Eddie Murphy has played a variety of ethnic groups in some of his "comedies" and there was that "comedy" where two black guys played two grotesque white chicks, so, like, what's the big deal?  Can't we all just agree that most "comedies" aren't funny and be done with it?

I'd like to see it as well.    Don't know if I'll get the opportunity, though (busy with work, school, etc).

we saw it saturday night with some friends... freaking hilarious! Tom Cruise was awesome and its sooooo unPC that everyone outside of Hollyweird will love it.

the theater was full where we were and they *clapped* when it was over. we may have to see it again, cause we missed a lot of the one liners.

Robert Downey Jr deserves some kind of award for this one. :popcorn:

It was pretty good.  It wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  We love the 'stoopid' comedy stuff but this one .... I dunno.  It had some really funny stuff in it just not enough IMO.

Yes, Robert Downey Jr. did an awesome job and so did Tom Cruise.

hehe  Yeah that was funnier than hell.  There was some really funny stuff in there but it seemed to lag too much in between.

I would watch it again though.  It is like the rest of his movies .... the more you watch it the more you catch.

Oh, I finally caught this film... and must say it was a riot!   :cheersmate:

I'm not even sure who 'made' the film as all the actors were just outstanding in playing actors playing actors  :-)

I thought it as funny as heck too.
