This film looks hilarious, directed and starring Ben Stiller, also starring Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black. Check out the red band trailer on YouTube to see what it will be like.
The MTV Movie Awards did a sketch about viral marketing the film. It had me laughing so hard by the end.

I saw that. RDJ has a pretty good sense of humor about himself. And Ben Stiller has a mean-streak he has yet to truly unleash.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Saw TROPIC THUNDER today. I have one word....HILARIOUS! OMG I haven't laughed that hard and that often since I don't know when. I saw it with a diverse group of friends in a packed Times Square theater, and we, along with the rest of the audience, went wild. There was even applause at the end. I loved this movie. I'm watiching a commercial for it and it makes me want to run out and see it again right now.
You will enjoy this movie, I guarantee it.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I saw the midnight showing last night of Tropic Thunder. There were few laughs, most of which you've already seen on the trailer (but unfunny in the context of the movie). The audience booed. I booed. To compensate I watched Pineapple Express today. Boooo! After watching Step Brothers last week and laughing my ass off, I think I've been spoiled. You can make up your own minds about TT and PE; I say: Wait for the dvds and go see SB.

One of the local TV talking heads who reviews movies said that his wife kept elbowing him because he was laughing so loud and hard that she couldn't hear the next lines. That was true for us, too, especially with Robert Downey, Jr., who has some terrific lines. He is soft spoken here and was at times hard to hear over all the howls of laughter.

P.S. SPOILERS:
Tropic Thunder steered off track when the director was "really" killed. What was supposed to be a comedy about some "spoiled" actors thinking they're making a real movie when they are actually in the middle of some revolution didn't make it to the screen. Ben Stiller's character is the only one who still thinks he's making a movie. The others are trying to rescue him. The confusion between pathos and bathos drags the humor down at times, but not enough so to prevent the comedy from coming through. But did we really need the fart jokes? And who didn't know that was Tom Cruise? Agent humor? Producer humor? Hollywood film-making parody? Who knows? But it made me laugh enough times to merit a ten buck matinee price. Oh, yeah, I went alone because my brother and Cindy did not want to see this movie based on the trailer. And the audience I saw it with didn't boo, but many left early. So there weren't really enough people laughing out loud for me not to hear all the lines. And, at least, Nick Nolte found some work, if you could call his role that. Fake hooks?

I watched it today. LMFAO! RDJ and Jack Black had stellar performances. I'll also give kudos to Nick Nolte, Tom Cruise, and Mathew McKannaugy. Ben Stiller played his part and generated some laughs, but I was surprised to see that he had directed it. I thought he did a good job. (at least he had the 4 million dollar explosion on film
) I never caught the names of the other two guys in the platoon, but I'll tip my hat to their performances. Had to be hell acting with so many stars.
I am pleased that this film is getting such a warm response, becasue Sorrel and I were afraid that once the gimmick of a blacked-up Robert Downey Jr had worn off this film wouldn't have much left to offer.
The trailers don't really show any good laughs, mainly focussing on RDJ. I defintiely want to see this film though!

I accidentally dropped a load of worthless change in the street. I was going to just leave it there but a burly policeman lumbered towards me and said, "You'd better pick that up, son."

Personally, I think Jack Black stole the show when they tied him to a tree. Lord I hope that doesn't go down as cinematic history, but it just might!
