Tropic Thunder Trailers

A group of self-absorbed actors set out to make the most expensive war film ever. After ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading his cast into the jungles of Southeast Asia, where they encounter real bad guys.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
types007 I couldn't believe the credits when it rolled. He is the man.
stevaice Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Whole movie is sadly unfunny. Story line is empty. Paid commercials, videos and reviews made me watch it and I regret it. Don't make same mistake as I did. Planet Earth and mankind did not deserve this. In whole movie you can see just three funny scenes. It shouldn't be labeled as comedy movie.
benaboo This is hands down Ben Stiller's best movie. It has great action, great dialogue, great acting, great music and great humor. This movie is filled with quotable lines and works very well. The performances I have to single out for praise are Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jay Baruchel, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom Cruise. I feel like this movie approaches it's themes in a way similar to Blazing Saddles but Blazing Saddles has a lot more slapstick. The Tugg Speedman character is not as memorable as Derek Zoolander but this movie is far better than Zoolander is. This is my favorite Ben Stiller movie alongside Meet The Fockers, Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch, and Night At The Museum 1 and 3 but I still haven't seen There's Something About Mary. I honestly prefer Robert Downey Jr as Kirk Lazuras over him as Iron Man but they are both fantastic performances. Tom Cruise is awesome as Less Grossman. He owns his character that is very different from everything else he has done. I hope Ben Stiller is proud of this movie because to me this is his best one.
Irishchatter Yeah you see these big stars such as Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr being the faces of this movie, however it doesn't matter about who starred in a parody movie, it just completely sucked. You are meant to have humour to watch this, a parody classic such as Spaceballs did it right. It took the p*ss out of movies right and they made it proper entertaining but definitely like this one, it goes below that. Its not funny, its rather upsetting to see they are going through a war and it didn't deserve to be nominated an Oscar. For Christ sakes, I would think the Oscars would've more sense in picking better movies than this. I can't understand why IMDb gave this movie a 7.0 rating, I honestly would give this a 4.0 rating because of the mucked up story line, the casting and the lack of entertainment. One of the worst films I have ever seen......
