They say that drama is easy, Comedy is hard! It is good that an actor so good is willing to laugh at himself by putting himself in such a silly role!

I didn't recognize Cumberbatch until I watched the credits.

I thought his bit fit in the silliness of the entire movie!

I think Cumberbatch still has every reason to feel secure. I don't know of anyone whose career has been hurt by working with Ben Stiller.

Are you hucking serious? Then maybe you're not a Cumberbatch fan at all.

"Some people say that drama is easy, and comedy is hard. Not true. I've been making comedies the last couple of years, and it's nice. When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or you have to take a bite out of somebody's face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home."

Truly. Cumberbatch is the best part of the entire movie. I am so glad to see he has such a great talent to pull that off.

I disagree. I think All was a good character & Cumberbatch played it well; we were not hit in the face with too much. It's a fine line, though. Kiefer's character was not well-written and his dialogue and delivery were painful to watch. I was quite embarrassed for him.

He has a sense of humor and it showed. While I thought this was a HUGE step down from the original - but still plenty humorous - All was hilarious just because Benedict Cumberbatch went for it and showed no fear or hesitation.

I have to say he scared me as well.

Ditto. Cumberbatch's performance was brilliant in this movie. It was very him, the Cumberbatch we know.
