Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Forget the plot, enjoy the fun

This movie belongs in the pantheon of great "buddy comedies." Robert Downey, Jr is Harry, a low-level thief who stumbles his way into a Hollywood acting opportunity. The late, great Val Kilmer is private investigator "Gay" Perry, who is enlisted to help Downey prepare for his film role, and Michelle Monaghan is Harry's childhood crush whom he reconnects with in LA. Hijinks and hilariously witty banter ensue. The less attention paid to the incredibly convoluted (and not terribly important) plot, the better. Just enjoy the funny dialogue and stellar acting of Downey, Kilmer, and Monaghan.
