TROPIC THUNDER

We saw Tropic Thunder on Saturday. Well, that actually was my second time cuz I saw it with Storie last weekend. Believe it or not it was actually even funnier the second time I watched it. I'm laughing right at this moment thinking about it. lol!

If you haven't seen the trailer the movie is about a group of actors filming a "based on a true story" war movie. The director decides to put them in Vietnam in a real war zone to capture real footage & action (without the actors' knowledge of course.) So here they are in the middle of the jungle thinking they're filming a movie but are in fact in real danger & could lose their lives.

The cast explodes with funny greats including Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., and two new guys (well, to me anyway) Jay Baruchel & Brandon T. Jackson. Needless to say they were all showing out & acting a damn fool! lol! Ben Stiller got swole for the movie, Jack Black got... well, his self, for the movie & Robert Downey got black for the movie. He looks, talks & acts just like one. haha. With a forced "brotha" voice of course. I don't think I know many black people that actually talks in a deep forceful voice every day. Jay Baruchel played a scary nerdy smart kid which fits him & Brandon Jackson played a hip hop entrepreneur & he also did a good job.

Matthew McConaughey was Ben Stiller's faithful agent & Tom Cruise was a rich entertainment mogul in a fat suit & they were both hilarious! Cruise really showed his funny side so hopefully people will cut him some slack on the whole "he's anal & controlling" thing.

Filled with bombs, helicopters, blood, guns, sexual & racist jokes, profanity, dancing & lord knows everything else, Tropic Thunder was a unique & funny hit. I heard alot of mixed reviews for it but hey, you can't please everyone. People have different types of humor so if you're not into Ben Stiller, Jack Black & Will Ferrell kinda humor then you probably wouldn't enjoy it. Needless to say I love those guys so it was exactly my kind of movie.

Rick: A hooker. Oh Jesus, you killed a hooker!"


"Tugg: This is insane. Are you telling me you're quitting the movie? We're supposed to be a unit!
Kirk: Suck my unit."
