Isn't that a little redundant? I thought all Ben Stiller films are bad.

To quote the great Zach Galifinekis (I am not trying too hard to spell it correctly), "Do you ever wish you followed your parents into comedy?"

Reminds me of something I was reading a while ago about how many "Hitlers" had to change their family name after WW2 due to community pressure. Coincidentally, one of the name chosen by some Hitlers was Hudler.
