Editorial Reviews

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 All Movie Guide

I'm Usually Not This Guy But..by Apollo_Faint-Of-Hearts

July 26, 2009: I really only wrote this review to balance out all of the reviews over-exaggerating how good this movie is. I think I will blame my feelings for the movie on director Ben Stiller. He should really stay in front of the cameras at all times. While I cannot name a film off the top of my head that is similar, I feel the plot was kind of weak. It seems like it's been done before. I will certainly put this as the worst thing Danny McBride has done. But as for the other actors, it is somewhere near the bottom of their resumes. I did laugh a few times, but a lot of it is predictable. My personal favorite scene (aside from every single scene with Tom Cruise as Les Grossman) is the end scene with the helicopter and Ben Stiller changing his mind. That was hilarious. Definitely worth a watch, but I don't know about a purchase.
