There are a few actors whose films I do not see. Ben Stiller is on the list. In fact, he is so bad that not even John Stewart can make the man seem funny. However, he has been in movies with other actors that overwhelm his badness. I'm thinking "The Royal Tanabaums."
I was hoping that Robert Downey Jr., in black face, and Jack Black would do the trick for Tropic Thunder. I was wrong... It was about what I expected from a Stiller film: stupid, sophomoric humor that often falls flat.
Ironically the best performance in the movie comes from another actor on my avoid list: Tom Cruise. He is fantastic.
Cruise is on the avoid list for being an ass. He can act.
