If you are in the mood for a fun action comedy, then Tropic Thunder will deliver for you.

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2008)

Tropic Thunder at times appears to go over the top, but it never gets boring or stupid. And it never becomes a one bad joke movie, it keeps coming up with something new each time. The actors appear to be having a fun making the film, I think director and star Ben Stiller lets his co stars addlibb. And Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black seem to roll with it so well. And begins with washed action star named Tugg Speedman, over the top Aussie actor Kirk Lazarus(Robert Downey Jr), and drug addled comic Jeff Portnoy(Jack Black) are on location filming a war called Tropic Thunder, but nothing is going right, the actors are not getting there scenes right, and the director(Steve Coogan) is growing frustrated, and the film is way behind. Until the films consultant(Nick Nolte) that in order to make it work, he'll half to put them in the real jungles with no set, make it has real as possible. And he soon does that, and rapper Alpa Chino(Brandon T. Jackson), and co star Kevin Sandusky(Jay Baruchel) are also along. But then a Vietnamese drug cartel discovers there they are there, and tries to kill them, but they think it's fake, will they ever find out it's not movie? An enjoyable comedy, everybody is great, but it's Robert Downey Jr in black makeup that pretty much steals the movie, watching him pretend is so hilarious, and Tom Cruise as a movie mogul, is also a scene stealer, with his funny lines that would make turn red with laughter. This movie was not meant to be offensive, has some may find it. It was meant to mock Hollywood, nothing more.
