Oh, Tom Cruise, that comedian. He’s made us laugh so many times in recent years. Jumping on couches. Read the full post.

Um, if Jerry Maguire isn’t a comedy then what is it? It was funnier than anything Ben Stiller’s done.
Tom Cruise? Ben Stiller? together? talk about desperation!
Smart idea! It will make a lot of money. Even Robert De Niro’s top money-making movies were with Stiller.
Wow. Another reason to hate Tom Cruise. And to think, I used to like him. But he massacred the Mission: Impossible franchise, and now he plans on ruining another of my childhood loves? I’m just going to cuddle Parker Stevenson and ignore Tom ever said the words.
I get scared when I see Tom Cruise’s face.
I’d much rather see a Hardy BOYS movie. Or Encyclopedia Brown. No offense to Ben Stiller, but Tom Cruise does not a good comedy make.
I don’t know whether or not Jerry Maguire qualifies as a comedy or not (I don’t really care how we classify and pigeonhole movies), but it was hilarious. I think Crowe’s film succeeded simply because it spent most of it’s time taking away Cruise dignity as we watched his “perfect” character crash back down to earth. Cruise can be funny whenever he’s willing to humiliate himself on screen. Meanwhile, humiliating himself in real life is less funny and more pathetic.
I’m turning 34 years old this year and my face is getting just as fat as Tom’s when I smile. It depresses me to look at him because it reminds me of how old I’m getting. The same with Brad Pitt, his face is stretching with age.
P.S. Fatima – I love you – I don’t know who you are but with a name like that and an attitude to boot, I bet you’re a lot of fun.
i watched jerry maguire the other day and it actually made me miss tom cruise. if he can let go and poke fun at himself the hardy men should be a really good movie. if not it should be funny just watching ben stiller try way too hard.
Oh man! How is he going to pull off the “smelling f@rt” face in a comedy?
To quote the wise sage W. Houston, hell to the no. I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to watch any Tom Cruise movie that comes out at all, ever. I can go back and still (somewhat) enjoy oldies like A Few Good Men and Top Gun, but anything released in the last few years and in the future is tainted with crazy, so I just can’t do it. When I look at him now, all I see is “crazy alien-worshipper who lobotomized a promising young actress and made her his wife and won’t stop until all of Hollywood is firmly attached to an e-meter”.
Tom Who ??? He makes me SICK
Call me crazy, but if they go in a remotely STARSKY & HUTCH direction with this, it could be a stitch. Have Ben as the younger Joe who always gets overshadowed by The Cruise as Frank?? I’m intrigued.
I think this is a great idea. Ben Stiller’s shown he is great at comedy and can work with a variety of costars beyond the Frat Pack (DeNiro, Hoffman, Williams, etc). And Tom Cruise could use a change of direction as well as a movie he doesn’t have to carry on his own. This could work.
Trw: Zoolander was funny, but it was not because of Ben Snorer. He is a good writer, and an *eh* actor.
