Ok, 2 things made me laugh so much in this movie. First, the previews beforehand and Tom Cruise. There is something about Tom Cruise in that character, dancing like he does that just makes me break down and laugh, even when no one else is around. Honestly, the movie itself was ok, some funny parts but overall just ok. I would seriously suggest this movie for just those two reasons. I don't care what anyone says, Tom Cruise and fake previews are funny. All it needed was Steven Seagal as Cock Puncher.

The hype for this film was crazy, and I was hearing nothing but good things about it. For the first month it was in theaters, then out of it, I was dying to watch it, but never got around to it. Thank god I gave it a good viewing last night from the nifty "Netflix" service, because It was just as good as advertised, and also much different than I was expecting. The story is very unique, and not usually seen. A rookie movie director attempts to make a film based on a famous soldier named "Four Leaf", who was a hero in the Vietnam war. Things go hilariously wrong and the actors are forced to become real life military men deep into the jungle. Pretty funny I know. It launches with a few fake movie trailers introducing all the main characters, and what kind of actors they are. The actors...Read more

''Yo asshole! This motha' fucka's dead. Ain't no Chris Angel Mindfreak, David Blane trapdoor horse shit jumpin' off here!'' Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying. Ben Stiller: Tugg Speedman Firstly I must say Tropic Thunder achieves exactly what it sets out and strifes to accomplish. What it equals is one of the best American Comedies to come out that tries something new and isn't achingly hard to fathom. This is simple undiluted Black Comedy with crazy action war antics. ''Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.''

Awesomely funny movie, the product spoofs at the beginning were a laugh, and jack blacks offers of oral sex were hilarious!!! As much as it pains me to admit, Tom Cruise was awesome in this movie, his closing scene was the icing on the cake!

Tropic thunder (like said in other reviews) opens with 4 fake trailers that is supposed to give us a little something before the movie starts. which pretty much what the whole movie is like throughout. a series of events that hardly have a point to them and are not very funny. although the acting is superb from the entire cast which includes Jack Black (who's roles lately have been somewhat different than his other films in the past).Robert Downey Jr.(Iron Man), and the leading man (who also directed and wrote the script ) Ben Stiller. there really is no goal for any of the main characters throughout this horrible attempt at a comedy. which leads us to what the movie is really like a series of events that have no major purpose other than to try and make us laugh but do not. the only thing ...Read more

"I'm just a little boy who plays with his penis when he's nervous." Tropic Thunder was Ben Stiller's most ambitious project yet. The actor/director/writer's career abruptly plummeted after starring in a number of disappointing films such as the tepid Night at the Museum and the lacklustre recent remake of The Heartbreak Kid. The last time Stiller accepted the obligations as a director was for 2001's successful comedy Zoolander (he also directed the 1996 Jim Carrey movie The Cable Guy). Put quite blatantly, Tropic Thunder is bona fide redemption for Stiller. He's returned to form with this zany, wild comedy that's an absolute blast from start to finish! As many have noted from reviews thus far and from the hyperbolic marketing, Tropic Thunder is a straightforward spoof of the war genr...Read more
