The jab at Scientology in this was priceless. Not to mention pretty ballsy for a Hollywood flick.

I have to see it again. I saw it in theaters back when it came out but I don't remember all that much. I do remember liking it at the time though.

And still pretty much the only film that seems to have done it. Until South Park took off the kid gloves and started hitting them directly, I don't remember many pokes at Scientology in popular entertainment. There was that Jose Chung episode of Millennium that seemed to be targeting them.

I loved them going to pick up the "top notch film crew", the dog in heels, the increasing paranoia. So damn great.

I'd pay to see the Chubby Rain that the who's who of Hollywood actually applauded at the end of the movie. Awesome... awesome!!

Just revisited this now. I remember liking it when I first saw it and I still like it. I have to agree with the masses here that's probably Murphy last best movie. He was good in Dreamgirls but... I don't know. This is a better movie. Ha!

 

But anyways... everyone is great in this. Baranski is top notch as per usual. Graham seems to take a lot of flack and I'm not sure why since everything I've seen her in she's usually pretty good. Though I haven't actually seen a lot of her work. Murphy is great in both roles and I'm glad he didn't use any make up or prosthetics, not that the role called for it.

 

And Murphys intro was amazing. It's too bad he's a joke now. Even when I saw him on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien he seemed tame and soft. He's lost it.

 

Regardless, it's too bad this one went unseen by people. It deserves a lot more love.
