Typical mega-budget Jewish comedy that fails miserably.

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2009)

Yikes. Where do I start with this one? I mean, Ben Stiller. Maybe I should just leave it at that. This dude couldn't make a 13 year old stoner laugh. I think the ONLY time I ever thought he was funny was as the jerky nurse in "Happy Gilmore." "Tropic Thunder" is a waste of money, time and plenty of decent actors. Why they all appear in this piece of crap is anyone's guess; I think Stiller probably paid them well. Obviously a huge budget here. It will appeal to the same crowd of morons who still think Saturday Night Live is hilarious. Boring plot, tired jokes, lukewarm satire and run of the mill slapstick run rampant through this turd. If you find that sort of thing entertaining, by all means, rent "Tropic Thunder."
The fact that RDJ was nominated for an Oscar here??? Proof that the Oscars don't mean a thing anymore. The fact that this movie is rated above a 3 on IMDb??? Proof that Americans really are as dumb as the rest of the world thinks we are.
Embarrassing! Oh, and I loved the cameo by Matthew McConaGAY. That guy needs to come out. Good Lord.
2 out of 10, kids.
