lol..that was funny the first time someone said thatI misread the title. I thought it said "Stiller and Cruise are hardly men".
Personally I loved Mr and Mrs Smith
#I was just reading an article about the film in Entertainment Weekly, it really sounds promising. Levy said in an interview that they wanted the film to be more like films like Midnight Run and Mr and Mrs Smith rather then a Starsky and Hutch farce. He said this film will be more about sibling rivalry....I really like the sound of it.

I hated script, but that's another story and I am too lazy to talk about it![]()

Odd,since the script was witty and tight apart from the last act
For me it was terribly done. It had so much cliche stuff and things were like I have already seen it in other movies, which were much better.
I guess people like this movie only because of awesome cast, so that's all.
No i liked it b/c the script was accurate and spot on not cliche
Well, that's actually your opinion. I just explined you mine.
Well it's not my opinion that it was accurate at displaying the little things that grate in a relationship and then mixing it with the fact both were assassins,it just is,you may not have liked the story but i'm not debating that i'm telling you that the script is a good portrayal of that type of relationship
Ed Solomon Adapting The Hardy Men
Source: The Hollywood Reporter February 12, 2009
The Hollywood Reporter says that Men in Black writer Ed Solomon has been hired to adapt The Hardy Men, a comic riff on the classic young-adult mystery novels about two brothers who solve crimes.
Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise remain lined up to star, with "Night at the Museum" franchise helmer Shawn Levy attached to direct.
Stiller and Stuart Cornfield of Red Hour Films are producing with Bob Kosberg. Levy also is producing through his 21 Laps.
The Hardy Boys adventures revolved around the mystery-solving efforts of teenagers Frank and Joe Hardy, amateur detectives who often helped their father, a private investigator.
The film adaptation would explore the reunion of the estranged, grown-up brothers, who work together to solve a new mystery.
Shawn Levy: The Hardy Men is the greatest movie I haven’t yet made. And it is the thing I get asked about most. We never cracked the script. In spite of some noble efforts with myself and Tom [Cruise] and Ben [Stiller] and a few different writers, we never cracked it. We still haven’t cracked it. We can’t make it until we crack it…
Is it a third act thing or is it a whole act thing?
Levy: It’s kind of a tone thing. It’s kind of like, how do people want that Ben Stiller/Tom Cruise collaboration? Because we’ve tried versions that are more straight ahead action-comedies. We’ve tried versions that are more action. We’ve tried versions that are more subversively self-referential, self-aware comedy. We just haven’t gotten it quite right. It remains the biggest idea I’ve ever had, but haven’t yet pulled off.
