Ummm, maybe I just don't find humor in vulgarity..

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2008)

I thought this movie was going to be brilliant, funny, etc., but it wasn't. It didn't deliver but a few laughs here and there, but because of the over use of vulgarity the would be funny parts were muffled by the noise.
I was surprised that Robert Downey Jr. played the part that he did, and to note that he was the same guy in Iron Man. What a contrast! Ben Stiller was typical old Ben. This is probably Jack Black's least funny movie that he has taken part since King Kong.
The over all message of the movie is that actors have no lives getting lost in their roles and movie producers (Tom Cruise) exploit them for what they are worth buying them off with money. Having said that, the type of movie-goer that will find this movie really funny will not pick up on that message. I was disappointed and this movie (Tropic Thunder) is now on my list of worst movies of 2008. I am just disappointed that my vote doesn't carry more weight because this movie is NOT an 8.0!
I knew beforehand that it would be vulgar, but this is over the top and losses meaning because of it.
