"Everyone in this movie has gone 'full retard'..."
Tropic Thunder is one of those movies you WANT, desperately, to like. Lots of folks (I guess those that still have a 2nd-grader's sense of humor) think it was one of the funniest movies they've ever seen.
But...like so much of Ben Stiller's work, this, too, is just another disappointment.
Over-the-top stuff that's just not funny. Charicatures of Hollywood hot-shots that are just too close-to-home to be amusing.
The only thing really amusing in this entire pic is Tom Cruise and his Hollywood-Jew-Mogul portrayal. LOVED that. They should just make that into the movie.
You've likely, by now, got a sense from the synopsis, trailers and other reviews that this is what happens when you take a bunch of Hollywood hotshots trying to make a war pic and toss them into the real 'shit'.
It was entertaining...but just barely entertaining enough to keep be awake.
The earlier feature (Kung Fu Panda) was a MUCH better film.
