It was funny but it lacked the thunder.

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2009)

Tropic Thunder was funny, violent and totally offensive and for most of the movie it did work. It was funny but very overrated. There are great performances by all involved. This was one of those comedies where there are totally hilarious jokes and then there are totally painful jokes that belong on Date Movie or Epic Movie.
Was it just me or was this movie backwards? Tom Cruise was funny but Jack Black was not. Robert Downey Jr was hilarious but Ben Stiller was not. Isn't it suppose to be the other way around?
I do recommend it. Robert Downey Jr totally stole this show. If this doesn't seem like something you would enjoy then i recommend Forgetting Sarah Marshall or Yes Man. I give Tropic Thunder.....
7/10
