This has to be one of the best comedy movies ever. Over the top and very entertaining on so many levels. Great performances all around with nonstop action. A ton of work was put into this movie and it really shows. Recommended.

Definitely deserves the Oscar for best comedy. Flat out hilarious! Didn't expect to see Tom Cruise in this one. Real rating 9.5/10.

This movie is wildly funny in many ways, and I highly recommend it. The dialogue is funny, the acting is good, the direction is tight, and more importantly, the director respects the intelligence of the viewer. It is also semi-parodical of movie stars, producers, agents, etc. and their tantrums! Robert Downey Jr. as an Australian method actor who undergoes a pigment-implantation surgery to enter the skin of the character he is playing, is hilarious! So is Ben Stiller and Jack Black and Tom Cruise, in his cameo role! Must see, laugh-a-riot!

Bad even as satire. A collection of capable actors playing fools.

Although it had its dumb moments, overall I enjoyed myself at this movie. The humor was entertaining for the most part and Tom Cruise was probably the best actor in it.

Hilarious! I wish I had brushed up on some of the Vietnam movies as it spoofs a lot of them here. And I hope this doesn’t make Ben Stiller start to think he really is a director.

Okay but not as funny as I thought it would be. Certainly not as funny as Zoolander or Dodgeball. An out of character Tom Cruise was probably the best part. Go see it with low expectations and you won't be disappointed.

I honestly haven't laughed in such a long time so hard for a movie. I dunno why so many people are giving this movie a poor review but it's definitely not a family movie. You have to be going with a date or a few friends to enjoy this.

Absolutely Hilarious! This movie is not a 6.9/10, it's a 9/10. Over the top ingenious writing and acting. Go see it, you'll be hurting laughing.

This movie was fantastic, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard, especially about Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.) "playing a dude pretending to be another dude!" Met and exceeded all expectation with the all star cast. I didn't even realize it was Tom Cruise until the movie was over!

The opening scene was indeed gruesome, until I realized they were spoofing Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and other similar war movies. That's when I relaxed and told my friends "They're just copying other movies!" We laughed thru the entire movie, nonstop. Genius Comedy: irreverent, subversive, gross, hilarious. Well you get the picture. Kinda like Monty Python Flying Circus. Same humour.

You know what? I laughed and cringed at some parts and I just had to smile at the stupidity, but it really wasn't a great movie. An excellent rental to enjoy with a few "beverages". If you see it in the theatre, it's not a waste of time but you need to be in the right mood :D

This movie is hilarious. I haven't left the theatre in a long time this happy. I will definently watch it again and again throughout my life. I never really thought Jack Black was that funny until I saw this film. The three play together perfectly and my stomach hurts from laughing so hard. Rent it, go out and see it just watch this film!!!

The best movie I have ever seen! So friggen funny I couldn't even breathe for laughing!! I just fell in love with the ENTIRE cast! And Tom Cruise - My lord. Jack Black was drop dead friggen hilarious! I laugh everytime I think of him being tied to a tree so as not to raid the camp of cocain. Seriously - I'm seeing it again! Its great! Beware, though, of an opening scene that almost had me walking out - the movie picks back up! That first thing is DISGUSTING! But the rest is gold.

Best movie I've seen since The Muppets Take Manhattan. If you enjoy peeling figs, than this is the movie for you. Some nice Coconut Joe sweatshirts make a cameo in this movie. 10 out of 10. I'd give it more but the calculator built-into my digital watch only has 2-Digits! Well Done!

After having a pretty long and tiring weekend, I sat down with a buddy at the local cineplex to catch Ben Stiller’s latest directing effort, Tropic Thunder. I was a bit weary about whether I’d be able to enjoy the film as much, given how exhausted I was, but the opening minutes quelled those fears outright. It’s funny, I thought, looking around the theatre, as most of the people around me didn’t seem to be laughing as hard as I was at the opening sequence of faux trailers. As I wondered why that was, it was evident that most of the people in the theatre were fairly young. The fake ads and trailers seemed to fly right over their heads, maybe because most of the satire was aimed at the type of things they might watch and enjoy. There’s Alpa Chino’s (Brandon T. Jackson) hilariously crude “Bust-a-nut” advertisement – a hardcore gangster rapper promoting his latest soft drink. That’s followed up with trailers for upcoming films from Tropic Thunder’s main stars Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), and Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr) Tugg Speedman’s latest movie pokes fun at the endless barrage of pointless, lacklustre sequels, that moviegoers have been forced to endure over the past few years. Although I couldn’t pinpoint whether that trailer was aimed at a particular movie star, Fatties – the latest film from Jeff Portnoy seemed to take direct jabs at Eddie Murphy’s prosthetics-laden films. It’s all hilarious, especially Kirk Lazarus’ (Robert Downey Jr.) new film, Satan’s Alley, but I won’t spoil it for you, just go see the film. Tropic Thunder plays as a satirical barb towards Hollywood’s rich and famous, taking jabs at everyone and leaving no stone unturned. Stiller goes after staunch method actors (Robert Downey Jr’s Kirk Lazarus faintly mirrors the likes of a one Russell Crowe), the out-of control superstars strewn on excess, and the overly controlling, “get what I want at all costs” studio execs trolling Hollywood. Even the rappers-turned-actors movement gets jabs thrown at it, with Alpa Chino trying to break into the movie business with his first role in a major blockbuster. Rarely do you ever see a film from Hollywood taking such chances, poking fun at itself while being so politically incorrect. One of the single most interesting and simultaneously frustrating things about Tropic Thunder is that it might be too smart for its own good. In other words, people are going to misinterpret its satire as lewd and offensive towards minorities and the disabled. More on that later. Fresh off Scorcher VI, an unexpected dud at the box office, Tugg Speedman jo |
