Ben Stiller surprised me with Tropic Thunder. The last Stiller movie that I liked was There’s Something About Mary so I had some uncertainties regarding this movie. It’s a movie about the men behind making a Vietnam movie. Well, that’s what they thought they were doing.
Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. play as the actors. Their onscreen chemistry was good and had me laughing with their antics. I like Robert Downey Jr’s role of an Australian playing an African American. He did justice to the role he was given and I felt that it was not offensive at all.
Though the three might have the top billing for Tropic Thunder, I think that the supporting cast saved the movie. Nick Nolte, Steve Coogan and Matthew McConaughey gave out great comedic performances for the film.
But I think that the biggest star of Tropic Thunder is Tom Cruise. His performance was excellent to say the least. He brought the house down with his dance moves. I didn’t recognize him at first. He should be doing more comedy movies.
Tropic Thunder is a funny movie right from the fake trailers in the beginning to Cruise’s dance when the credits are rolling. Even if you’re not a fan of Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder is a must see.
