Cruise is a Hardy man

Am I the only one who thinks a big screen update of teen detectives The Hardy Boys starring Ben Stiller and – wait for it – not Owen Wilson, not Vince Vaughn, but grinning couch jumper Tom Cruise sounds like a good idea? Seriously. Mission: Impossible III was the best of the bunch and frankly all of Cruise’s Scientology shenanigans and pseudo-marriage to Joey Potter only makes him more interesting in my book. Before he was just a Chiclet smile and a crazy cackle. Now he’s truly weird, not quite in a Christopher Walken way, but still, at least it seems he has a personality that’s not Hollywood fabricated. Cruise has never done a true comedy yet he seems open to poking fun at himself (his cameo was the funniest moment in Austin Powers 3). And if you’ve seen Stiller do his Cruise impression (and if you haven’t, seek it out on Youtube, it’s a stunner), you know there could be some whackjob chemistry between these two actors. On the downside, the film is being called The Hardy Men, which sounds a little to much like a porno.
