Pretty sure of it that all of the actors must have had a great and fun time making this movie but does it make this movie a good comedy as well? Not entirely, in my opinion.

In my opinion, this is a bit too much of an one note movie. It basically consists out of a bunch of well known actors playing parodies of themselves, without ever becoming that very creative with the actual comedy. Perhaps it's because the movie is mostly set at one place or maybe it was simply because the movie was relying too much on it that the actors and their dynamics would carry the movie and make its comedy. It's a tad bit too simplistic for my liking and I would have preferred it if the movie had focused more on its writing, rather than trying to cram in as many familiar faces as possible.

It's not that the movie is terribly bad or an unfunny one to watch but it still overall was a disappointing one. I thought it had a pretty good and funny sounding premise in it and I like most of the actors that are in this movie but it never turned into the laugh riot or fun to watch movie I was hoping for and was expecting it to be.

It's still somewhat fun to see all of the familiar faces poking fun at each other and themselves but even this got a bit tiresome after a while. It's too predictable and simple all really. It basically turns the 'geekiest' and least likely actors into the biggest heroes and all of the toughest looking ones are the biggest cowards. It's also something that makes most of the humor and characters very predictable all.


All of the characters are exaggerated too much as well in my opinion. So here we have a movie in which all of the actors pretend to play themselves, while they do the absolutely craziest and most stupid stuff you could possibly imaging. No person is that crazy or stupid as the ones in this movie. Of course you shouldn't take this movie and any of its characters too seriously but the foolishness of the characters was a bit distracting and annoying to watch at times, especially once the movie starts to repeat itself over and over again with it.

And partly because of this, the movie also tends to feel a tad bit overlong. It's actually only a just over 100 minutes long movie but it feels more like a 2 hours and 15 minutes long one. That's never a positive thing to say, especially not about a comedy.

It's still somewhat of a fun movie to watch and I also got some laughs out of it but I wouldn't exactly call it the comedy of the year, to say the least...

6/10

Tropic Thunder (2008) Directed by Ben Stiller





(Review originally written at 21 March 2009)

Modern comedies are starting to get a bit tiresome and it's often simply too much of the same. "Tropic Thunder" really is not like that and takes an original approach to the genre, with a great original story and a dream-team of actors.

Ben Stiller movies are often too much Ben Stiller movies, which means that the movies focus and rely too much on him. Not that he's bad, on the contrary really but it's also a bit tiresome, especially now days, when he appears in in the main role in comedies, two times a year, or so. Thank goodness that in this movie he is being supported by some truly fine actors, of which some of them really aren't that likely that appear in a comedy. I'm of course talking about Robert Downey Jr., who simply is just brilliant in this movie. It wasn't just for nothing that he received an Oscar nomination for his role in this movie. He really deserved it. Also unexpectedly great is Tom Cruise. He once proofs to be more than just a great actor, who can handle different genres easily. The movie further more stars fine actors such as Jack Black, Nick Nolte and Matthew McConaughey.

It's a movie that's simply greatly being written and directed. It more picks the approach of a serious big multi-million Hollywood production, which enhances the movie being an Hollywood-satire even more. If you're a bit familiar with movie-making and everything surrounding it you'll find the movie to be even more funny and amusing that the average person.

It's also not a lame comedy, with lame jokes and such but it's actually a quite clever movie, that is greatly written. It's not a comedy that constantly tries to make you laugh but it's being more subtle with its humor but yet not without it's typical modern comedy touches to it. Some people might find this movie to be less funny than if got advertised as but its humor is simply just more in its little things and the pompous and over-the-top way this movie got made in. With its $92,000,000 budget this was quite a daring project, that in the end more than paid off.

8/10
