I wasn't offended, but I didn't laugh that much either. Though there are a few great parts, they are too far and not enough. Tom Cruise is perfect whenever he's on screen too bad everything can't be as entertaining.

I'm about an hour into the movie and it's the biggest disappointment. I have not laughed even once. So much for an entertaining Saturday afternoon.

Yes, it might be a stupid comedy, but it was hilarious. Especially when poking fun at the very actors and corporations that they work for. A well done comedy, and Tom Cruise was great.

Tell Everyone What Happened Here

Tropic Thunder can be explained in three words: explosions, drama, and hilarity. Although I was never really a big fan of Ben Stiller, I have to say that I was impressed with this film.

The story follows four actors that were suppose to make a movie called "Tropic Thunder". These actors had more than just personality: each of them had their own twist of past that made their characters realistic as well as enjoyable. Even if the characters weren't that original, I loved all of them. Each one brought more and more to the table, making drama and plenty of jokes.

What I have to say I enjoyed most about the movie was actually Tom Cruise. It's not often you see Tom Cruise outside of his normal "good guy" role, and this movie really put a twist on most of the roles he plays. I could hardly...

Big-Ass Titties

This movie was plain hysterical. Absolutey hysterical. When a group of actors at the head of their game try to act out a documentary-style war epic and their director is killed in action, only comedy runs amok out of the zany mishaps and misadventures. Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Steve Coogan are just brilliant. A must-see, clever, well-written, well-acted and wonderously delivered. Highly recommended comedy.

A must see movie

This movie is awesome!!
Maybe one of the best comedy I saw last year. However, you need to be a true movie fan to understand all the funny scenes. My favorite part is when Ben calls his agent, saying that he just killed his favorite.....hahaha

I loved a lot of the dialouge in this film, but I'd have to say the line about the nutless monkey was the funniest xD haha

Nah, nah, the best line had to be "Mother Nature just shit in her pants!" 

Plus, the fake trailers were all hysterical, especially the whole Robert Downey, Jr. and Tobey Maguire one.  What a masterpiece of parody.

I disagree about the best line of the movie.  It has to be from Tom Cruise.
"A nutless monkey could do your job."
