Finally a comedy that doesn’t give away all of its jokes and general entertainment value in the trailers! This one is definitely a keeper.
Robert Downey Jr (who has such gorgeous eyes!) teams up with Val Kilmer and finds himself thrust into the strange universe that is Hollywood. Downey Jr. plays a Harry, a petty thief who, whilst running away from the police on a break-in gone wrong, stumbles into a movie audition for the role of a detective. He is sent to Kilmer, a tough-guy gay PI, for some character building and the two find themselves immediately embroiled a number of murder-mysteries, including one that involves his childhood love Harmony (played by Michelle Monaghan.)
Lots of twists and turns and intertwining stories make this movie a joy to experience. Although the laughs don’t stop coming, this movie is everything but light and fluffy. Dark, smart, sassy and with great spoofing of Hollywood excesses this movie is a lot of fun. No hesitations in recommending this one.
