This movie was super fun. Unfortunately it was also an absolute mess. This could have been a clever film with much pleasure derived from great performances and actors who can poke fun at themselves. But the movie has a split personality, flipping between cartoonish action and taking itself far too seriously. This is not a serious film. The director should have corrected all that serious crap in the editing room, but he didn't.
Anyway - this is still a lot of fun - particularly Mary-Louise Parker and John Malkovich. I would recommend waiting until it is on DVD and catching it then. You will be able to not pay attention in the really stupid parts, flip through a magazine while watching, etc.
