That's funny! Should be a good movie as far as the genre goes.

Uh oh. Robert Downey Jr. playing a black man...never would have guessed. Politically incorrect? Not to me. At least not at first blush. However, you know the naysayers are going to come in and ask: If you had a black role, why didn't you get a black man to play it?

But then, what black man is anything like Robert Downey Jr.? What other white man is anything like Robert Downey Jr.?

You must admit, great make up. Not like the Hollywood of yesteryear.

"It could be dangerous if not done right."

Where was the outrage from White Chicks then?

The outrage of White Chicks was that someone was foolish enough to greenlight yet another Wayan Brothers movie. The fact that they were in drag and "white face" was insigificant in the face of the initial greenlighting tragedy. :p

Oh that movie looks so ridiculous. Can't wait to see it. I love that Stiller guy. Zoolander was a hit for me. His genre is unique. Throw in a little bit of Jack Black pepper and you got a monster. I sense some hit or miss though :(

That makeup is great by the way. I went on google images to get some pics when he's white and I could never tell that it's the same guy. Still trying to analyse the traits.

I couldn't have told you that was Robert Downey Jr. in a million years.

By the way, I'm black and I'm not offended.

Most of Stiller's movies are rentals for me... Funny, but not so funny that I'd want to pay theater pricing to see them.
