Not good

Rating: 3/10 (2 February 2012)

I went to the movies a couple of weeks ago with my best friend Rick, to see this and Death Race. We both had wanted to see this from watching the previews and promotions; Death Race was his idea. I had no interest in watching a movie that resembles Twisted Metal. Anyways, long story short, I ended up loving Death Race and hating Tropic Thunder. Seeing it last was a mistake too. I was falling asleep. My complaints for this movie is that it's made out to be soooo goddamn funny and it's not. It has some good jokes here and there (mostly by RDJ) but it's not a comedy treasure. That quote from the trailer after the movie came out, "You'll Be Quoting This Movie Forever", is seriously wrong. It should say, "You Will Be Quoting RDJ's Lines Forever". Also, Jack Black, who I usually like and I think is funny, sucked in this movie. He barely does anything in the movie or help it progress. It was a waste to have him in it. I'm a big fat guy--I could have been in the movie as his character and it would be the same thing! Ben Stiller, who gets a lot of flack, was okay in this. Although the Simple Jack thing was a little funny (when they show the trailer) it became really annoying. I am also disabled but it didn't offend me. I just figured, if this is the best they can do, then maybe I'm not so disabled after all. This is surprisingly a movie that you should wait till it comes out on DVD. Not worth the $8.50; not worth all the hype...
