Very Funny

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2008)

There was a lot of talk about Tropic Thunder before hitting theaters, especially the crazy controversy. Putting all the talk aside, I thought the movie looked hilarious from the trailers and it was even better when I saw the movie. Everybody was hysterical in the film, especially Robert Downey Jr.
The story is about a group of actors, who end up in the jungles of Asia while filming a war movie. While there is more to the story than this, I thought I might not spoil anything for you. The story is simple and it is not so hard to understand when you see the whole film.
Ben Stiller was great as Tugg Speedman. I thought his performance was really funny. I was a little bit surprised on how funny Jack Black was since I'm not a big fan of his movies. He plays Jeff Portnoy and also known as Fatts. Robert Downey Jr. transformation was totally insane, but hilarious at the same time. I never thought he would have been this hysterical. I think he stole the show in the movie. He certainly has a comic side that I haven't seen before. As I was watching the movie, I was trying to find out who was Tom Cruise in the movie. Then I noticed a fat guy with glasses dropping the f-bombs like crazy and there was Cruise. The dance was funny too.
When I saw the movie, I was surprised on how much action the film has. I almost felt like it was an actual action flick. Now the comedy in the movie was one of the best of 2008. Everybody in the movie was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing until the end. The movie was so funny that I couldn't even hear the dialogue at times because the entire theater was laughing like crazy.
Tropic Thunder is one of the best comedies of the year. It's non-stop laugh until the end and I mean it. If you really want to laugh your heart out, I think Tropic Thunder is the right movie for you. You will not be disappointed.
