Stiller, Rock say Israel's better than Hollywood

Chris Rock says Israel is better than Hollywood. Ben Stiller agrees.

The two Hollywood stars are in Israel for the premiere of their latest movie, "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." The premiere was in the coastal Israeli city of Netanya. Stiller says it's a good place to roll out a new movie. He said, "This is better than any premiere we have had so far."

Rock expanded on that. He said, "It's much better than Hollywood. They don't like us in Hollywood, but here they love us."

The animated film features animal characters escaping from Madagascar to the African mainland in a zany adventure.

Stiller also visited the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, the holiest site where Jews can pray, and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
