Tasteless, Crude, and not very funny; however, 'Vicki Christina Barcelona' is much better and much funnier.

Rating: 3/10 (18 August 2008)

Believing all the reviews about how funny this movie is, and how it's a parody of all previous war movies, I went to see it. Perhaps, because I'm not a Hollywood insider, I didn't find 'Tropic Thunder' to be all that funny. It appeared to me to be more stupid and moronic than hilarious. For me, it's likely to be the worst movie I've seen so far this year.
I thought Robert Downey, Jr. did a great job as a black infantryman and his performance was certainly the best in this movie. However, this aside, the movie is not worth the price of admission. On the other hand, I did see the opening of Woddy Allen's "Vicki Christina Barcelona," without a doubt one of Allen's finest works.
