We sat down to watch a movie the other night and plummed for "Tropic Thunder" as a few months ago it was getting some quite good press and was described as a laugh out loud film for the family.

Perhaps it's just because we're getting older, but what a load of old cr*p! After half an hour, both Mrs C and I decided to stick at it for another half an hour in the hope it would improve. We lasted another 45 minutes and then we both looked at each other, nodded and both dived for the "off" switch.

Does anyone else think Ben Stiller is hopelessly overrated?

No, i'm afraid I LOVE Ben Stiller!!! Tropic Thunder was OK but not s funny as I was expecting, although I did watch it all so mustn't have thought it was as bad as you & Mrs C did I loved him in Meet the Fockers & Meet the Parents. I think he's filming a new one at the mo, called 'Little Fockers'.... can't wait for that!

One comedy actor who I think is rubbish though, is Adam Sandler! I don't get whey people think he's so funny... I think his films are a load of poo!

i too didnt think much of tropic thunder - but i do like ben stiller - and adam sandler!! but both of them do have a few cruddy films to their names!

Meet the Fockers is hysterical. I loved that one. Robert De Niro was really good in it too. I want a camper-van like his!!

That was the very camper van that inspired my horrible husband to call me "Winnebago" when I was pregnant
