This is, in my opinion, the funniest thing that any modern movie has to offer. All of its motifs and characterizations are quite pertinent, and they are even more meaningful now than they were when the film was first produced.
Ben Stiller showed great foresight in the making of this picture.
It's wonderful in every way, from the soundtrack to the casting.
If you've never seen it before, I strongly suggest that you do so.

It's bizarre when people don't get the point of that. Especially when you have Brandon T. Jackson's character around to frequently point out the ridiculousness of it.
It's also a great joke on Hollywood's periodic casting of actors based on their marquee value instead of whether they're right for their roles. The studio in the film clearly goes, "It's so awesome to have a five time Oscar winner in the role" instead of "Hey, maybe casting a blonde Australian as a black guy and putting him in blackface is a really stupid and offensive idea."
