It is hilarious. This is the first Ben Stiller movie I've ever seen, him being the director/writer/producer/actor..etc. A revolutionary twist of the making of a movie in a movie. You would not think that these good guys would stand up for the so-young nemesis: a Viet kid who lead a bunch of war-freak, drug-dealing stupid Viet terrorists just to make a big-budget award-winning war movie. They never had the idea that their supposed-to-be shooting scenes turned out to be real-life shots when they were left at a jungle where those terrorists lurched around. What's funny, their director was way dead even before the first scene was filmed when he unfortunately stepped a mine at a grassy area. There are some funny surprises as you go through their adventures at the jungle until the Awards night.
