Ben Stiller praises Tom Cruise (aka attempt #267 at rebuilding Tom's image)

What is going on with Ben Stiller? Maybe this movie is good (although I don't think I'll see it - at least in the theatre), but like Mike Myers, his recent movies haven't worked for me, like he's lost most of his sense of humor.

IMO, any time you have Tom Cruise disguised in a fat suit and singing and dancing in your movie, you've reached the bottom of the pit.

But that's just me. (shrugs)

Same here, and I didn't think it was possible to think less of Ben Stiller.

I can only feel sorry for Tom because he was looking for something at some point and they got their hooks in him and now he is gone.

I get mad at the institution, not the individual.

Please, don't feel bad for these psycho cult members, they are respponsible for themselves and ruining the lives of innocent others.
Institutions are made up of individuals, these individuals are accountable for their actions.

Ben Stiller, you used to a funny funny guy. What are you saying? Do you KNOW what you're saying? If you're trying to telll us to like Tom Cruise you are a fuckwit and you have lost all my respect. Tom Cruise just doesnt rate anymore. Well no higher than a hamster and he would have to stand on tiptoe to shake ones hand. Yes I do feel sorry for the little guy as he has been brainwashed into a coma and he has nothing and no one to tell him the truth. He thinks HE is the truth. Stupid dickhead.

Personally I don't feel sorry for Tom Cruise, I should b/c he lost his hot factor when he became a scientologist, he also lost his ability to act. He sucks.

I don't think Ben could ever act so if he put Tom Cruise in the movie hoping it would help sell tickets he's made a huge error.

Yeah, I think his nickname used to be "Laserhead." He always had the potential for couch-jumping. He has always been a hyperactive, intense little guy.

I thought he turned in a surprisingly good performance in "Minority Report," but otherwise...meh.

That sucks. I'll still "find a way to obtain" the movie, but I really wanted to support Robert Downey Jr. in a comedy.

Fuck you, Tommy! and apparently Ben Stiller by transference.

Until I saw this photo, I didn't realize there was any adult in Hollywood shorter than Tom - guess I was wrong!

He only has a small cameo in the film. If you didn't know it was him, you wouldn't know it was him.

I'd forgotten until watching Born on the Fourth of July on TV tonight what a good actor he used to be. He was also good in The Color of Money. He needs a strong director who stands up to his BSci.
