This is one of the few movies I find seriously funny. Stiller, Leoni, Moore, everyone does a killer job, and humor emerges from a variety of silly-crazy and intellectual sources, so you can respect yourself when you laugh. Human neuroses give rise to a lot of sympathetic laughter. Most of it is human frailty and absurdity. Tea Leoni is hilarious, and does a great job of getting on your nerves, and trying to get into Stiller's pants behind his wife's back while still being completely neurotic and self-absorbed. Her psycho-babble is highly effective. Stiller plays the usual awkward introspective man who lacks self confidence. His parents are magnificent, and so are his 'real' parents. I loved it. highly recommended. What else are you going to watch?

An inspiring epic of a people that have not been represented positively by the film industry to date. The movie follows Muhammad Ali Jinnah through his life, bringing out his sincerity, his suave educated personality, and his passion. The man who was poorly represented in "Gandhi" at last has a bit of justice. While one may agree or disagree with either "Gandhi" or "Jinnah", it would be a pity to be only exposed to one or the other. It's not a big budget movie, probably, but then Hollywood doesn't like a Muslim leader --- even when he was in favor of the separation of religion from the state, and unlike Gandhi, disapproved of mixing religion with politics. I loved the movie.
