Why Do I Do This to Myself?

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 2009)

I sometimes watch movies that are listed as funny and are supposed to be comedies and am often very disappointed. So is the case with Tropic Thunder. A horrible waste of talent with the exception of Danny McBride, Ben Stiller and jack Black, those three deserve a movie this awful. I would first like to know how Danny McBride got into the business? A casting couch? What is the deal, he can't act, simple as that. Then there's Jack Black, he overacts and is not at all funny. Ben Stiller is not even worth a mention here because his movies, with the exception of "Meet The Parents" series and a few others are bombs. The action scenes where the huey's were orbiting and the A4's came in to do their bombing runs, were pretty cool. The druglords were humorous as was Alpa Pacino. Robert Downey Jr. was wasted as were other characters of the team. Matthew Connaughey had a minor supporting role, but, he played it with his usual good-hearted abilities. Tom Cruise, drop him, without revealing anything, even his talents were wasted by a poor script and being teamed up with less than adequate actors.
