About this product

Product Information

When the box office champ Ben Stiller's comedic performances aren't a variation on a soft-spoken, put-upon everyman with an eventual fuse, he's usually playing a full-blown absurdist monster with an apoplectic Napoleon complex. These bizarre creations usually adorn films in which the funnyman provides the supporting work (DODGEBALL, HEAVYWEIGHTS), but, whenever he's directing, he's free to build an entire filmic universe around his asinine, ludicrously funny, culture-skewering characters and premises. His ZOOLANDER (2001) bit at the entertainment industry with silly abandon, but Stiller has firmly set TROPIC THUNDER within the realm of sophisticated Hollywood satire. In it, a desperate director named Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan) trying to make a Vietnam war movie drops his pampered actors into the heart of the jungle. Cockburn's stars include Stiller as an action hero who's starting to make bad career choices, Jack Black as an insecure low-brow comedy star going through heroin withdrawals, and Robert Downey Jr. as an Australian Oscar winner so lost in his "craft" he underwent a procedure to become black for his role. In the jungle, they remain under the delusion that they are still being filmed even after they encounter a dangerous gang of druglords. The film's basic premise has popped up several times since Hollywood's 1970s golden age in films such as THREE AMIGOS! and GALAXY QUEST. Where those films simply blanketed a classic Overconfident Bumbling Idiot comedy showcase with a pop culture lexicon, however, TROPIC THUNDER could have only been made, as on-the-nose at is, by people who have been working in the Hollywood system for years, making cutting observations along the way. Simply put, this raucous satire knows big-budget filmmaking, the delusional narcissism of actors, and even the good points of those actors--perhaps why they're celebrated--like the back of its hand.

Rude, witty, and ballsy
Starting with the best fake-trailers this side of Grindhouse, TROPIC THUNDER develops into the most uniquely wacky blend of satire/action/ and gross-out I've ever seen. At first it appears to be a straight-up spoof on popular war films, then it becomes a film within a film, then an attack on Hollywood and the film industry in general. Also present are some rather shocking (and hilarious) sight gags (exploding film-crew members, the brutal slaughter of an endangered species) that managed to catch everyone off guard (yet not offend them). The main reason TROPIC THUNDER works so well though is it's stellar ensemble cast. You have the likes of Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, Steve Coogan, and Nick Nolte all turning in terrific comedic performances that they obviously ...

Tom Cruise gives the extended cameo of the year as a studio executive, while Tobey Maguire and a slew of other actors make notable appearances. Ultimately it is Downey Jr. who steals almost every scene as the platoon's very white, African-American squad leader. Rude, witty, and ballsy, TROPIC THUNDER is a great time at the movies. It's hard finding worth-while large budget comedies these days, but DIRECTOR Ben Stiller, supported by a strong cast and a great premise, has proved himself to be the right man for the task.

Tropic Thunder is more than great...
I won't get into the DvD extras, such as an alternate ending, and extra scenes, because you can read about that yourself. Instead, I want to say that the movie itself is more than just a comedy, it's parody of certain actors and directors. It's an opinion on how certain people in Hollywood take themselves too seriously. The movie needs to be watched a few times to get all of the subtle nuances that give it a "deeper" meaning. (Although, I hesitate to use that word in light of the fact that this movie is a spoof film, on the surface) Of course, there are more than a few memorable scenes that give the viewer a tummy ache from so much laughter. Bottom line: This isn't your average spoof film (a la "Meet the Spartans" or "Disaster Movie"). It actually delivers a message most of us agree ...

A Witty Satire and a Great Cast to Boot
With such a loaded cast, there are few people who can honestly say that there is no one in this film who actually impresses him (Stiller, Black, Downey Jr., Hader, Nolte, McConaughey, Cruise, Hewitt, Bateman, etc.). Because this whole film is a mockery of actors, war movies and Hollywood in general, having such a cast makes it all the better. While there are still the cheap and easy laughs that have made Ben Stiller and Jack Black popular, perhaps more impressive is the underlying and pervasive satire requiring a slightly more intellectual humor (emphasis on "slightly"). The whole premise of the film is absolutely absurd, and maybe that's what makes it all the better. There is a lot to applaud for in this film, including the stellar casting, but there is no doubt that the most ...

If you're looking for a good laugh with a little action thrown into the mix, there is no better option than "Tropic Thunder."

I LOVED THIS MOVIE! SO FUNNY!
As soon as I saw the preview for this movie I knew I was gonna love it! I didnt get to see it in the theater but I rented it as soon as it came out! This movie had everything going for it. Hysterical all the way through, great storyline, the directing, it was filmed like a masterpiece, great acting and cast. I bought it finally cause I was waiting for the price to go down. You have to get the 2 disc directors cut/unrated. You will get more for your money and if you loved the movie as much as me then you will really enjoy it. Robert Downey Jr made this movie with his character and performance. My fave parts was the beginning of the film when it appears to still be trailers for other movies but it is actually part of the movie. Tom Cruise's small part was great.

My son loves the end when he dances. My son copies him, so funny! I am even thinking of buying the soundtrack cause the music was all so good in this film. I gave it 5 stars for excellent based on how much I loved it. It does have some crude language and humor though, really strong sexual language type of jokes.

The movie may be well made. It just wasn't for me.
This may be an amusing film for many. For me, I couldn't get past the overwhelming amount of bad language. Sorry
