Synopsis
Ben Stiller directs and stars in a high-concept action comedy about a film crew struggling against Murphy's Law during the production of a big budget war film, and just what happens when the actors become possessed by the bravura of their onscreen counterparts. Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Steve Coogan and Nick Nolte co-star in this DreamWorks production. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
