Let's all praise Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller is the last guy on hollywood that has it. Mel Brooks had it, 70`s Woody Allen had it, or the Zucker-Abrahms-Zucker: To not take it not so seriously.
There is a perverse element in their humor: More cynic they are, more the punchline pays off. But then, it was not by chance that Jim Carrey gone after Stiller for Cableguy; and also was not by chance their humor got so dry, almost violent; like they did not laugh while doing it. it seemed that the Young Frankenstein formula was lost. Tropic Thunder is the opposite, it's warm. Somehow it felt like the old days of Animal House, Airplane and Steve Martin:
Not only Stiller is the last stand, he will make 400 million and will save Tom Cruise's career.
