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?
