More Than Just A Comedy

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2008)

Tropic Thunder is a great movie for a lot of different reasons and there it is not offensive or racist, as people have been claiming. It is certainly ridiculous and over the top but I think it has to be. There are so many laugh out loud moments in this movie but it also very well thought out and intriguing.
Ben Stiller does a good job of acting and maybe even a better job of directing. I loved the entire cast. Jack Black is hilarious, and Robert Downey Jr. amazed me with his ability to do so many different voices and characters. I think this may actually be the only movie I've ever like Tom Cruise in but I was almost rolling on the floor laughing at most of his scenes. I also thought the story was top notch and very well thought out, especially for a comedy. This is one you won't want to miss!
I know the summer is almost over but you should check this movie out before it comes to a close. It is the perfect summer popcorn movie and a lot more!
