Tropic Thunder — 

First off, this Movie is great, as long as your willing to get past some blood and gore. The Movie is hilarious, each character has his own role in the movie.

Ben Stiller plays as the action movie star, whom is failing out of hollywood at the moment with flops such as "Simple Jack", which is brought back to him many times throughout the movie. Once he is captured by a group of violent drug thugs, he is made to perform his role before the group of thugs as their entertainment.
Bottom Line - If you love Ben Stiller, you'll love this movie.

Jack Black plays as the large guy with a large gun. However, his true personality happens to be that of a drug addict, and after a point in the movie is tied to a tree by the rest of his squad. Jack Black is not seen at his best in this movie, but is still able to make you laugh.

Robert Downey Jr. plays the most experienced actor for the movie, having been nominated several times for theatrical awards and winning some for his other roles. In the movie, his character has gone through some controversial surgery to change the pigmentation of his skin, so he may play an african american. This was the first time I'd seen Downey Jr. in a comedy film, he did a really good job.

The movie was excellent, the jokes good, and the intro was over the top, in a good way.

A must see for Comedy fans alike.

What kept it from being perfect, was at some point in the middle, it was a little hard to keep focused and the humor dipped a little, but soon came back for the end.
