A modern classic was born

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2008)

So much could be said for the complex and bountiful humor found in tropic thunder, and yet some only focus on what may be considered offensive. For those who walked into the theater to see this movie,assuming you saw the trailer, and came away shocked at the content in the film I can only come to the conclusion that you, like Tugg Speedman, are indeed a retard. Robert gave a superb performance and I believe his career is thriving right now. There were other great performances but overall I was shocked at how well Ben Stiller, who I never really gave great mind to, could write such an intelligent comedy. This is one for the ages that would even do the likes of Mel Brooks "blazing saddles" homage. For just about the entirety of this film I found myself laughing as I have not laughed in years. I seldom write reviews but was compelled by this film. It really is good and if you have the right since of humor, and are not easily offended, I think you might just have a great time watching this. The greatest parody of a making of a war movie ever.
