Pretty Funny!

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2011)

Tropic Thunder is actually pretty funny. Despite the strong cast, I did not want to see this film because it didn't appeal to me. Well I just saw it and it was funnier than expected. I had many laugh out moments especially when Tom Cruise was on screen.
This is about five actors who are in Vietnam filming a war movie when things get real and dangerous like it was back in the Vietnam War.
The acting is great. Stiller, Black, and Downey had great chemistry. I loved how Downey portrayed the black guy as a white guy. I loved the way the foul-mouthed Cruise danced. That was hilarious.
Overall, this is a better comedy that I thought. It did have some slow moments. But this is mostly for a crowd-pleaser. I rate this film 8/10.
