Tropic Thunder Reviews

Tropic Thunder is one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen. Largely a ''movie within a movie'', the film is a spoof on both Vietnam War films and prima donna actors who demand to be pampered on a movie set. But it's more than slapstick comedy. Tropic Thunder features some fine acting performances and brilliant cinematography.

In the film Hollywood Director Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan) is struggling to shoot a war film with a cast of famous actors. However, he cannot control the actors and the film is way over budget. In short order, his head is on the block. Cockburn decides to take...

Tropic Thunder - Go See what the fuss is about!
I was already curious about the new flick by Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller and Jack Black when I started seeing interviews about the film's "controversial" nature.   ???   Surely people were not up in arms about a white man playing a black man......actors have been portraying the opposite sex, foreigners and other races for years.  It couldn't be THAT, could it?  

We arrived on time for the movie and got the shock of our lives, which turned into a big laugh on us.   GET THERE ON TIME, PEOPLE!    ;-)     That's all I can say about that...

I had the pleasure of viewing an uncut version of this film...it is the best adult comedy in over a decade! 

Not your typical Ben Stiller movie, but I have to say HE BROUGHT IT!  This cast is GREAT!!!  Jack Black, he almost made me pee my pants....RD Jr in blackface, I was not sure how that would pull off, but it is so well written it BELONGS there! 

There are a couple of surprise stars in this, but I would not ruin it for anyone. 

This movie was SO GOOD, that I am going to PAY to see it again on opening night.  I just  hope they do not cut anything from it.  It was perfect the way I saw...

TROPIC THUNDER---- Rocked my world!!!!

This movie was so wrong. It had foul language as you would expect hollywooders to use. It was politcally incorrect and I loved it. It had fantastic actors- Still, Cruise, Downey Black...the story line was unbeliveable and extremely entertaining. I loved how it made fun of the stupidity of hollywood. You would expect it to be overly dramatic and just ridiculous.  The movie kept me laughing and loudly at that. I loved that Downey play "' a dude disguised as a dude playing another dude."' He did a fantastic job. It was a super funny movie and I will buy it as...

It was a miserable weekend here in the North East. There was rain and the temperatures were in the teens.  Perfect weekend to sit home and curl up and watch some movies. Went to the Red Box and rented 5 movies. One of them, Tropic Thunder.  Horrible. Lame. Stupid. Just plain bad. Boring plot.  I am a huge fan of Ben Stillers. Even the movies all star cast couldn't hold me or my fiances attention. I wont even waste another breath of air on reviewing this.

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....
