"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.

"I always find myself comparing this to Pineapple Express. I kind of prefer Express to this because of its stoner aspect of comedy, but this is still an absolutely hilarious war/action comedy. "

"-REWATCH- Call it a remake of the classic Three Amigos all you want, I love this film. It has consistant laughs throughout and Tom Cruise stealing the show as Les Goldman. I love it!"

" Cruise is stunning in this cameo – and totally unrecognizable as studio mogul Les Grossman. His end-of-the-movie dance scene? Crazily hypnotic. I’m not kidding."
