Lick my armpit
The story of a man (Stiller) who goes out looking for his birth parents with the aide of a ditzy adoption agency worker (Leoni), all the while dragging along his wife and small child is a wonderful example of black comedy gone oh so very right.
Some of the best scenes are owned by the older actors, including Mary Tyler Moore who flashes the camera in order to demonstrate how well she's taken care of her breasts over the years. Who cares if it's because she's mocking her daughter in law for breastfeeding? We got to see Mary's boobies! (Well, in a bra... but still.)
The other great additions are Alan Alda and Lily Tomlin as the birth parents that Stiller finally tracks down. Both aging hippies who practice tantric sex and have an angry emo-when-it-was-pre-emo teenage son.
And a gay Josh Brolin? It just doesn't get any darker than that.
