Tropic Thunder - Movie Review

Tropic Thunder

Better late than never review.


Well it’s been over a week since I saw this movie, and I know it’s quite old now.

But for those who have not seen it yet, here’s my review.


Topic Thunder is a plain old slapstick movie about a war movie. What makes the movie funny is plain and simple good acting. All the members of the cast have done an excellent Job. But for such a half baked script, the movie might have actually been amazing.


I know in such slapstick comedies there is really no need for a extraordinary script or exceptional acting.


There were three outstanding characters in this movie,



Ben Stiller : This comic actor plays the same goofy role everytime, but each and every time, does an excellent job. He plays a Sylvester Stallone like charater in this movie and some of the scenes leave you in splits.



Robert Downey Jr, plays the White guy who becomes black. But the character they are trying to portray I think… is Russell Crowe. He does an excellent job as a black man.. And the scenes with him and Brandon T. Jackson are hilarious.


Honestly, this is the first time I have seen Tom Cruise in a comic role. My God, he was sheer genius. He plays a Movie Mogul/Producer and does an amazing job. He looks like a much much fatter Ron Howard.


Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, Brandon T. Jackson and the rest play their parts, but at the end of the day the these guys owned the movie.


It’s a great way to spend a couple of hours. You’ll defiantly have a great laugh..

On the whole I’d say 4 out of 5.
