• Tom,
  
  Stick a fork in yourself. You're done.

• Love it. This actually looks like a parody movie that doesn't suck. There have been so-o-o many bad ones (Epic Movie, The Comebacks, etc.), but this looks OK.

• Pam "Hep" Anderson looks pretty good there.

• Haha, I'm actually kind of excited for this. And slightly ashamed about it.

• He has that same nasal voice as Tom. Comes from having spent too much time up some guy's bunghole.

• The impersonation is dead on.

• Brilliant. Give that man an Oscar! If only to piss off the Gay Midget Dwarf, so be it.

• Who is this actor? His imitation is f-ing perfect.

• Spot on!!

• his hand movements are dead on!!!

• I wonder if people around Tom Cruise indulge him and tell him he has powers and shit? Like I wonder if they're sick and Tom puts his hand on them if they pretend to get better?

• Great scene but this movie is gonna suck because EVERY parody movie out of Hollywood lately has blown so I'm not holding my breath nor am I giving my money to this shit.

  By anonymous, on March 24, 2008 15:11:40

• Dead on with the maniacal Tom Cruise laugh!

  By anonymous, on March 24, 2008 15:36:01

• Sure it is a good impression, but great comedies stand the test of time. A kid now can watch airplane and get most of the jokes.
  Relying 100% on current pop-culture references does not a good comedy make.
  This is ok for an episode of SNL, it is not good for a motion picture.

• Nailed it....very funny

  By lamb, on March 24, 2008 16:20:45

• That was fucking hilarious.

  By anonymous, on March 24, 2008 18:32:38

• creepy... he looks like tom, too

  By anonymous, on March 24, 2008 18:41:48

• Yeah, that's hilarious, go ahead and laugh while you all still can. But what you people don't realize is that Scientologist's brains have been taken over by an alien life force that's over 60 million years old, and it's not really his fault because that's not really Tom anymore in that body. Can't you SEE that??
  
  We need to fight back with everything we have or else we are all doomed to the same fate!

• hahahaha..I hope he sees it! The truth hurts!

  By anonymous, on March 25, 2008 05:23:36

• That clip was perfection! His look, his mannerisms, his voice, the delivery of his rantings, and most importantly, his laugh! Those explosive mananical outbursts! This guy is in the same league as Andy Koffman as far as being able to immerse himself into a character. Bravo!

  By anonymous, on March 25, 2008 06:03:06

• Great, now I don't have to see the film. I've seen what will probably turn out to be the only funny part in the entire movie.

  By Gerald_Tarrant, on March 25, 2008 06:56:45

• Gerald_Tarrant - my thoughts exactly. Hardly worth the price of a ticket and and hour and a half of my time...

  By anonymous, on March 25, 2008 09:12:26

• He is dead on! The laugh, speech, hand movements... that was funny.

  Respectfully disagree. I have a feeling Tom Cruise's maniacal behavior will stand the test of time, right up there with Nixon's "I am not a crook", Marilyn Monroe standing over a subway grate, and the monument to Saddam Hussein crumbling off its pedestal. Cruise's spectacular fall from grace, as coupled with $cientology's long overdue comeuppance and exposure to the masses, belongs up there in the annals of history. I don't give a rat's ass about Tom Cruise in the grand scheme; it would have been some other actor if it hadn't been him (Will Smith, perhaps?), but he was the nudnik who did us all the favor of being such a deluded little creep that he thought he had carte blanche, thus exposing Co$ for what it really is: a pyramid-scheme cult. That's some important progress there. If it's all forgotten 20 years from now, along with "Here Come Da Judge" and pet rocks, that will be a bad thing. Unless, of course, it's because $cientology has become extinct by then, which would be a very, very good thing. I doubt that will happen, though, since, by way of analogy, there are still plenty of neo-Nazi skinheads roaming the planet. You have to stay on top of this shit.
  
  Apologies if I'm heavy-handed; my sister got caught up with those theiving bastards in 1992. They took her life savings and destroyed her marriage, not to mention her life. She is still a "member", living in a cramped dorm with four other women, working for "the church" for free, is skeletal and has no friends, no life outside the building they keep her in, and my family cannot contact her. My parents were harassed for years while they tried their damnedest to get her out, and they finally gave up when the money ran out. She calls once a year at Christmas, promising to visit, and then does not show up, leaving my mother in a pile of tears, sobbing inconsolably. I last saw my sister in 1997.
  
  Yeah.

• Jerry O'Connell did it better. This guy may look more like Tom.

  By anonymous, on March 25, 2008 14:19:06

• Priceless clip,who is the actor playing the shithook tom?

• 11:56:33 -
  
  Wow. Sorry about your sister. Can't imagine what you and your parents must be going through.
  
  This sounds a bit crazy but have you considered forcefully abducting her and getting her to some kind of cult "de-indoctrination" center right away? Probably you have.
  Hope you find a solution for her.

  By Fred, on March 25, 2008 14:41:08

• The actor is a guy named Miles Fisher.
  

  By anonymous, on March 25, 2008 14:48:12

• To 'jump the couch': I feel for you. Look up Penthouse mag's in-depth 1980 interview with L Ron Hubbard's son on the net.
  
  It will tell you everything you need to know about the Scientology cult and exactly how dangerous it really is. People think it's funny. If they only knew.
  
  As patheticly amusing Tom is, believe it or not, he and his family are just victims as well.

  By Vanchic, on March 25, 2008 14:50:41

• Tom Cruise is 5'4", not especially handsome, and demonstratably lacking of intelligence. I think he fared badly enough in the genetic lottery--let's just give him room in the sandbox. He won't bother anyone if he's paid no attention.

  By anonymous, on March 26, 2008 00:58:37

• jump the couch, so sorry to hear about your sister. More people like you need to speak out so that the truth about $cientology reaches the masses. But with all due respect, the "Tom Cruise" clip in this movie is a very small part of the overall movie itself. What I got from Kurt's posting is that because this movie relies on current pop culture to make up the bulk of its substance, it probably won't be funny to people 20 years from now, "Tom Cruise" impression or not.

  Not crazy at all, Fred, at least to me: that was exactly what I wanted to do straight out of the gate, but nobody would listen. Something about "illegal" or whatever...
  
  Parents: We've gotten these nice books from the library, and they say that a gentle family meeting where we hug her and--
  
  Me: Fuck that shit! I say we rent a van! We rent a van, and we get this big rope and we drive to Bumfuck Idaho and chain her to a--
  
  Parents: --explain that this naughty cult simply won't do, and then we all have cocoa and--
  
  Me: Commando!! Commando!! We rent a van! We rent a van! We slip her a mickey and into the sack she goes, with the big rope around it, and we--
  
  Parents: --then everything will go back to normal. It must be true, because it's in these nice library books.
  
  Me: You people are FUCKED. [storm out, go to local bar.]
  
  Vanchic,
  
  Believe me, I know E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G about those shit-bastards. But thanks for supplying the info. Hopefully others can benefit for it, and all my whining. Christ, I haven't bitched about this topic in a long time. I feel great! (Well, not really, but it helps.)
  
  Gotcha, anon 07:50. On re-read I realized there was a larger point being made. I was a little too busy zeroing in on my own agenda there. Hey, at least I was polite!
  
  Thanks for the sympathy, everybody. This is far and away my favorite comment symposium, or whatever you call it. I'm still out of breath from laughing at that J.Lo post about the housekeeping phone calls for more towels.

• Thanks, jump the couch, for sharing your story. This money making scam waves the flags of religion only to avoid prosecution by the law. You read their site and see their videos and it's just incredible how this cult has risen to such levels of power.
