Writer-director-star Ben Stiller makes a movie about making a movie that no movie-maker should ever have made. And it's a riot. This is the project that Stiller will be known for, a Vietnam War epic satire that all those years spoofing Hollywood, the industry he grew up in and the people who run it, were leading up to. Showtimes, review and more. Watch trailer.

A very impressive movie. Good cinematography, fantastic locations, and overall good representaiion. The movie played pretty fast and loose with the story of Genghis Khan from "The Secret History of the Mongols," but overall well worth watching.
