Synopsis

Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. lead an ensemble cast in 'Tropic Thunder,' an action comedy about a group of self-absorbed actors who set out to make the most expensive war film. 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.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
MichaelMRamey I enjoyed this film, but some of the jokes are a hit and miss. I like the concept and the cast is great, but there just seemed to be something missing from it. It's good we got it when we did though because a film like this would never be made in the politically correct world we live in now. Robert Downey Jr steals every scene he is in and has some the weirdest but most quotable lines in the film.
ccman2 Good lord, this movie is hilarious and epic. The characters with their own insecurities being thrown into the most random and dumb situations ever is just so funny. The dialogue had me and my dad crying in front of the TV. Anybody who likes comedies or war movies, check this one out!
tamademicheli The story is a secondary thing, acting was the main stuff. Robert D J deserved an oscar. concentrate on the way of acting, the ironical side, and then you can recognise a teather piece, in an unusual way. Of course is "demential", but it is a kind of special one.
SquigglyCrunch Tropic Thunder follows a group of actors trying to recreate the events of a war in a movie, but ultimately are sent out into a real war, only they think they're still filming a movie. The plot is, as you probably have already noticed, pretty hilarious. Of course, that alone isn't enough to make a funny movie. Tropic Thunder manages to pull that off, thankfully. The beginning of the movie is quite hilarious, and the ending is too. Unfortunately the middle portions weren't as funny, and they were a little confusing and slow at times. I think that that was mostly due to the fact that it wasn't what I expected. Nevertheless, it wasn't horribly boring, and the final act more than makes up for it. The characters are pretty decent. They aren't super deep or anything, but you still get a good idea of who they are, and you feel like there's more to some of them. All the rest are either unimportant or just there to be really goofy. Overall Tropic Thunder is a solid comedy. While it can be a bit slow in the middle, the beginning and end more than make up for it. I'll certainly be seeing this one again, and in the end I'd definitely recommend it.
