How did this get crap get a 7 star rating???

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2008)

I decided to watch this after seeing the 7+ rating here on IMDb. The ratings have to be contaminated by the people that produced and are marketing this garbage, because it is beyond comprehension as to who would enjoy this movie. Tropic Thunder was not funny. When the movie tried to be funny it was so strained and very awkward, like it was constipated. The only thing that might have been funny, if seeing this movie in the theater, was the fake ads at the beginning. Otherwise, fart jokes, a druggie going through withdrawls running around in his underwear, a gay man in denial, Morten Downey Jr's character thrown in for controversy sake, I thought Downey would at least be funny, what a let down! That was pretty much the type of humor to be found here. I enjoy watching "stupid-funny" comedies, I'm not a movie snob by any means, but this was just "stupid-stupid". Not funny, BORING, don't waste your time or money.
