Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:01:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleez_boy - Tropic Thunder is one of the funniest movies I've seen. Not as funny as Knocked Up, but chaotically funny and fun. The movie stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. as actors working on a war film that has cost over $100 millions of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chelledun - You've probably already heard something about Tropic Thunder on some news show or another - probably that it's offensive, cruel, or politically incorrect. What it is, in fact, is a spoof movie that takes a few not-so-gentle shots at Hollywood in...

Wed, 3 Sep 2008 22:01:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasonmv1701 - Some would say that "Tropic Thunder" is stupid. Some would say that it is mindless summer fodder. Some would say that it is offensive on so many levels, that it borders on being uncomforatble. I say they are wrong. About everything except the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gooberpyle - I really enjoyed watching this movie. I think I've not laughed so much in a long time. Humor Jack Black was amazingly funny (and overweight) and Downey carried his role perfectly. Ben Stiller however was more like Jim Carrey; the...

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:23:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mooncreek9 - The concept of Tropic Thunder is terrific, the movie was decent if you don't have high expectations.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author momofourinlou - This has to be one of the worst movies I have seen. I expected better acting from this all-star cast. The storyline was weak.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lindeisha - Every once in a while, I like to watch a movie for my Id – just pure, non-politically correct, immature, funny entertainment. Tropic Thunder doesn’t make the kind of message on bigotry that Borat did, but instead it is pure,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rmurray847 - Many months ago, when I first heard the concept behind TROPIC THUNDER, and the names of the cast members, my interest was certainly quite high...but so was my expectation of disappointment.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author briankrakow - A little over a decade ago, Ben Stiller directed a film called THE CABLE GUY.
