The awesome finale to the 2008 Summer movie season

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2008)

TROPIC THUNDER is one most off the wall comedy movies out there that will make you laugh and cry from laughing too hard. If you don't dig silly, over the top scenes then you probably would find this movie very annoying because frankly, it has that element and so much more. This is a comedy with a bang! Explosives and uproarious! Writer/director Ben Stiller and his fellow screenwriter Justin Theroux have made the awesome finale to the 2008 Summer movie season.
It's a good thing Ben Stiller has so many A-list friends who are willing to appear in this movie even for a cameo. The cast are people who know comedy by heart. From Jack Black, Steve Coogan to Bill Hader and Matthew McConaughey The show stopper is Tom Cruise as the bad-tempered bald fat producer. Say what you want about the guy, but you would not wanna make him angry. Tom Cruise knows how to cuss up a storm and he looks funny when dancing to hip-hop music.
TROPIC THUNDER can proudly claim Robert Downey Jr as its champ. His role as the Platoon's African American sergeant is priceless. You have never seen him like this. His accent and mannerism might be exaggerated a little, but he does not sound like Robert Downey Jr. at all. He's got the lingo down and his looks will forever crack me up. What a talented actor.
This movie is not for those of you who are looking for clever comedy. Nope, this is for those of us who from time to time don't mind comedy who target audiences with short attention span. This movie's humor only works for those of us who just wanna sit back and enjoy some major entertainment.
