A funny film that tries to put everything together. It's all skit filled and a mock of film parody.

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2009)

"Tropic Thunder" was not a favorite of mine. True the acting is pretty good and the film is funny as it tries to put something together. Yet in the biggest way it's nothing serious as the film really just boils down to a parody and skit mock of other films. You have well known stars as Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. who all portray big Hollywood stars. And all of them have agreed to help their struggling careers to get together and do a war picture a friendship type film that is mostly funny a comedy that mocks fun at many others really just a big film parody. In the scenes you see films like "Easy Rider", "Platoon", and "Apocalypse Now" portrayed and mocked. Like I said the film has good performances from big name stars the most notable one was Downey Jr. still it fell short on my list because of it's lack of drama and seriousness. Still if you want a good laugh and like film parody check it out.
