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 recognize him with his hair gone, huge hands, and all of his hair that was suppose to be put on his head spread out on his arms. He really pulled that character together, and I was very impressed with him.

Really, Tropic Thunder is good, but I wouldn't watch it a lot. The jokes would get old after a while, but it's still very enjoyable.
