Wilson defends Stiller against scathing critic

Owen Wilson has lashed out at a New York film critic, for lambasting his movie pal Ben Stiller "tiresome" screen presence and for being the "crudest, version of the urban Jewish male on the make".

New Yorker magazine reporter David Denby wrote a scathing review of Stiller's latest film Meet The Fockers last month, saying: "Stiller is not a natural comic. He's not effortlessly funny. There's nothing wrong with the features, but they don't quite go together."
