Reinvention Time
Filed under: Film Flickers > Tom Cruise
It looks like former A-lister Tom Cruise might have found something to help him revive his career.
Comedy!
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Tommy Boy is loosely attached to Food Fight, a 'warmhearted comedy' about a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria.
Is he capitalizing on the positive buzz surrounding his comedic turn in the upcoming Tropic Thunder?
Food Fight is considered a departure for Scientology's poster boy, who's made very few comedies. His last such lead role was in 1996's Jerry Maguire.
Whatevs.
We're sure he'll find a way to eff it all up!

So tired of him and his face…
TOMS A FUCKIN WEIRDO–he can suck it
This guy is sick… his entire family is sick.
They need to be in search of help to get out of this demented cult instead of trying to make more money.
You're rich enough, fix your damn personal life.
also, the only reason i would ever watch that movie is to marvel at HIS FUCKING WEIRDNESS. it will be painfully unfunny, creepy too
Watch little TommyGirl tell the directors to serve barley milk to the boisterous students. Then watch him dope them with a daily cup of olive oil and niacin and plenty o' Scientology-approved vitamins.
Yeah, typical Scientolomeals.
Ha HA HA HA Ha HaH aH aH HAAAAA…. this guy sucks DONKEY DICK!!!!
wow, he's an ugly sucker….wasn't he voted sexiest guy alive at one point.
he need to depart from the cult.
Isn't there something going around saying Angelina Jolie has been given a part originally meant for Tom? I don't think trying comedy is going to help Tom's dead career one whit. Look at his current movie, it's been shelved over and over from being released. Even the Mission Impossible people are looking for other leads. So yeah, Tommy-boy, try looking elsewhere to reinvent yourself, say like be less of a Scientology freak.
That could work, loved his dark comedy in "Magnolia" — he's supposed to be good in "Tropic Thunder" - reinvention is always loved.
PEREZ …….. WHY YOU AFTER TOM … HE CHOOSE TO BE A SCIENTOLOGIST AND YOU A GAY .. WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE IN LIFE AND WE CHOOSE WANT WE WANT TO BE .. R U THE NEXT FIDEL CASTRO OR SADDAM HUSSAIN …. IMAGINE YOU BEING A KING YOU WIL MAKE ALL OF US GAY BCOZ THATS RIGHT ACCORDING TO YOU ….
Tom should be forgiven. The man has learned his lesson, has been tortured enough. He's a good guy, just annoying at times.

COMEDY?????
.

MZ CRUISE HAS ALREADY GOTTEN THE BIGGEST LAUGH HE'LL EVER GET WHEN HE TRIED TO CONVINCE THE WORLD HE AND KATIE HAVE A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP AND THAT SHE'S NOT JUST HIS BEARD!!!
.
.
Ever notice he doesn't do science fiction?
THE POOR SECURITY GUARD IN THIS PHOTO LOOKS LIKE HE IS RELUCTANTLY GIVING TOM ONE UP THE BOTTOM !!!!!

painful to even read about him anymore. hang it up shorty
I have to get something off my chest: His teeth are frightening. This has bothered me for YEARS. His right front tooth could really be described as his center tooth. Fix it for fu*ks sake! Or does L. Ron prohibit that too?
Until Katie Holmes starts looking happy and normal, I think he can't fool anyone. He's so over. Plus he's pudgy and wears ugly clothes… so uncool.
I've honestly never seen what people ever saw in him.
He needs to go away….
Oh God, that phony smile and that weird look. If you could read his mind you just KNOW he would be thinking. "I am so smart, why doesn't everybody see that I am brilliant and Scientology is perfect. And I know that I'm smart, because I give them millions of dollars and they tell me so, why is my wife sitting in the corner cutting herself again? Guess we'll have to get her some more baggy sweaters"
Or something along those lines.
Who cares about this zero. I can't believe you don't have anything about Bob Geldoff's daughter " beaver " getting married. WTF?
When a "serious" actor goes to comedies it just looks like an act of desperation. Like one final attempt to revive their career. But career revivals should never EVER involve comedies!
Re: Spindoc –
That was SOOO FUNNY!!
Since he converted to $cientology he's become beyond repulsive as a person. It seems to do that to people.

Not a good look for him. I think the scientology hasnt done much for his career, friggin weirdo.
Tom sucks!!
ok wow, thsi is tom cruise, as much as you(Perez) hate him, hes still the one and only tom cruise. period. he doesnt need to "revive"his career.
Foodfight is already done production…
It's staring Eva Longoria, Charlie Sheen, Wayne Brady, Hilary and Haylie Duff…
And it's coming out at the end of the year…
But maybe Tom " I'm an alien" Cruise is staring in another movie called "Food Fight"…
He'll f**k it up Nobody wants to see a movie with him in it because he acts like a czar with his family and he is a f***ing fanatic asshole!
OH MY GOD!
ChelleBelle, I've never heard anyone else say this. His "middle" front tooth irritates me every time I see it. That people never mention it (when they mention every other minute detail of a celeb's appearance) confuses the hell out of me.
Yeah, it's a Bizarre thing, his teeth.
"He should stick with what he does best…gay romance films, dahling! Everyone wants to see Iceman pound him in Top Gun II…"
Following in the great tradition of fallen movie stars Eddie Murphy, Cuba Gooding Jr., the Rock and Vin Diesel, Tom finally gets his very own Daddy Day Camp. Your career is officially over, gums.
what the fuck is up with his hair. his wife has weird hair too is it a scientology thing?.. his smile creeps me also
OMG! is that thing really Tom Cruise!??? I feel sick looking at him because he is so ugly ,what has happemed to him????
are tom and katie going for the same haircut?
URGH its dog face!
GAY!
GAY!
GAY!
NO ONE WANTS TO PAY MONEY TO SEE YOU TOM! You can see crazy for free.
DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO PUNCH THE SHIT OUT OF HIS FACE!
Re: System – IT'S A CULT NOT A SEXUAL ORIENTATION YOU FUCKTARD!
He needs to go back to being the Jim Baker of his money starved cult, it's all based on greed and control…sounds just like him.
uh oh.
youre such hater! tom is not that bad!
yeah…….don't like him at all
Not that I like him him but the info is wrong…The Last Samari…War of The Worlds…Mission Impossible? He has had sever box office hits since Jerry Dua!
Not Tom's best look……
That pic. creeps me out.
Is it me, or does he look like he has about 100 teeth shoved into his empty head?
Tom Cruise is a weinee. I wouldn't pay to watch him compete in a dog show.
ew horrible picture. wtf is up with his hair?
Ha ha ha …Comedy suites him. He looks just like his Mom as he ages. He should do a movie like Mrs. Doubtfire or Tootsie. He looks more and more like he is in drag all the time.
I find him laughable, but not in the way any movie producers wold want.
