Plot
A bunch of movie stars shooting a Vietnam war movie are dropped off in a real-life jungle to offset the escalating budget. It’s not long before guerrilla filmmaking turns into genuine guerrilla warfare…

Verdict
There are moments of comedy grandeur, but this isn’t as consistently funny as you’d hope. Nevertheless, Downey Jr.’s Kirk Lazarus is instantly up there with the comedy greats.
