Category: EnglishProduced and directed by Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder is quite a phenomenal film. The actors used, the plot lines and the entire premise is original in it's own sweet way.
But one get's the feeling that it's humorous only because of the actors used in the film. Robert Downey Jr. & Jack Black are particularly stand out in the film as the Method actor and the coke head actor, respectively. The end is a little convoluted but all's well that ends well I suppose.
The direction is funny and the entire film is carried by the dialogues and the script. Personally it's one of those films you can watch with a few guys in the evening. It's a bit shockingly violent at places so watch out for that in case you have some women around for company.
Recommendation level: 1.5/5 Yeah it's funny, but what more? .5 rating for Tom Cruise's little jig at the end. Ben Stiller's Reality Bites is a far better film than this one, can't you make more like that?
Hehe you sound like you like the film and then you give it a 1.5/5 rating. Pretty harsh.
ReplyDeleteI thought this movie was pretty bad save for Robert Downey Jr. I'd give it a 1.5/5 too :D
Yeah, I liked it, but everything is good because we don't expect these guys to behave that way :P One of the fundamental faults in Hollywood !
ReplyDeletei didnt find it all too bad really, but then i guess too much porn and chick flicks have ruined my judgement!
