    R,1hr 46min
    Genre:Comedy
    Released:August 13, 2008
    Director:Ben Stiller
    Distributor:DreamWorks/Paramount Studios
    Starring:Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Jay Baruchel ...more


    Synopsis
    Ben Stiller's satirical look at Hollywood, Tropic Thunder concerns the production of an epic Vietnam War film that quickly derails thanks to the giant egos of everyone involved in the production. Stiller stars as Tugg Speedman, an action hero trying to segue out of that genre. Jack Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a drug-addicted fat comic also attempting to change his image by taking on such a serious film. They star alongside Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), one of the world's most awarded actors, and a man who insists on immersing himself totally in a role. In this case, that means Lazarus has had his skin dyed in order to portray an African-American soldier. After their outrageous behavior lands the film's director, Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan), in very hot water with producer Les Grossman (Tom Cruise), Cockburn takes the advice of grizzled Vietnam vet Four Leaf Tayback (Nick Nolte); in order to gain control of his performers, Cockburn drops the actors off in the jungle, planning to film the movie guerrilla-style with hidden cameras. When the group stumbles upon a heroin production camp, the actors are unaware that they are in very real danger. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

    I think that would be a good one to see at this local theater, Alamo Drafthouse. You watch a movie, eat pizza (or other food), drink beer...perfect!

    I saw this one shortly after it opened and I thought it was hilarious. There were a few questionable scenes that I think may have been better left on the cutting room floor, but on the whole it was very funny, and very rude. As long as you are able to deal with foul language, very low-brow humor and a whole lot of stupid then the movie was really funny.

    I watch this film a few weeks and it's ok, but I have seen funnier Ben Stiller films than this one.

    LOL, i loved this movie.

    "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." :D

    It's good. It could be better if Ben Stiller wasn't director.

    I honestly thought it was pretty boring and was ready to miss the end... It wasn't that bad and there were some funny parts but I just found it pretty long and boring.

    I wont be recommending it to anyone - thats for sure...
