| Posted by: bigred760 at August 21, 2008, 9:29 am | | Topic: Tropic Thunder Forum: JoBlo | | The movie starts off kind of slow and annoying, but once the characters are in the jungle and facing off in a real combat, it's actually very funny. Ben Stiller plays the usual clueless character, but this time he's got Robert Downey Jr. along for the ride and he steals every scene he's in, playing an Australian actor who's playing a black actor in the war movie. He's a riot. Jack Black is also in the movie, but he mostly just bitches throughout the movie since he's a drug addict who's in withdrawal while in the jungle. Dumb character. Another who steals the show in every scene he's in, though they're few and far between - Tom Cruise. He plays a foul-mouthed, hairy studio exec who's pissed that the movie he's financing is having production problems. He's hysterical in the movie, throwing out f-bombs and other colorful expressions every chance he gets. The movie doesn't just poke fun at Hollywood, but also Hollywood war films. I noticed "homages" to Saving Private Ryan, Platoon and Apocalypse Now. Ben Stiller (star, director, writer) knew what he wanted to do and I think he achieved that, make fun of Hollywood. First flick of his I've enjoyed in a while. 7/10 |
