Let’s be truthful with each other, Ben Stiller’s last few comedies have been nowhere near funny. I guess he realized his funny bone is broken, so he is trying his hand at drama and real stories.
He told CBS Sunday Morning, “I’m not really that interested in doing that kind of stuff [comedy] now.” Then he added, “That’s just where I’m at in life.”
What he is doing is a seven-part documentary called Escape at Dannemora about a real-life prison break for Showtime. Which we can relate to because I wanted to do break free from the movie theater when I saw Zoolander 2.
