Witty and Funny - The Best Comedy of the Summer

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2008)

Now before I go on I want to explain that I haven't seen pineapple express and that could be a better movie, but I seriously doubt it.
Going into Tropic Thunder I expected to be entertained but not blown away. I expected a few jokes here and there, but again, nothing amazing. I expected some decent characters and plot from the movie (for a comedy at least) but again, nothing that would make this more than just another summer movie that I would see just for the sake of seeing a movie. Boy was I wrong.
Tropic Thunder was an absolutely amazing movie. Right from the get go I was blown away by the creativity shown. I don't know about any of you, but I have never scene a movie run trailers for its "movies" at the start of a film. All of those trailers were great spoofs in themselves and personally I would have rather cut the actual movie trailers and just watched 10 of those before the film (I am a person who loves watching movie trailers before a film). That started to movie on a high note for me and it really only went uphill from there.
Tropic Thunder is just one of those movies that I will remember for a long time. To me its one of those movies that I can bring up with friends and we can take maybe 10 minutes reciting lines or events that took place in the film and we would still have a good laugh from it, no matter how terrible our renditions of the film were. This is just one of those movies where the trailer does it no justice, even though the trailers for it were pretty damn good if you ask me.
Every time I think of Tropic Thunder the first thought that comes to my mind is, damn I want to see that movie again. Unfourtantly I'm going to have to wait until it comes out on DVD to relive the experience.
