Tropic Thunder

What did everyone think of this. I saw it last night and thought it was fairly funny and entertaining but nothing great. With a cast of Stiller, Black, Downey Jr, Tom Cruise, and Matthew McConaughey it had alot of potential. It also has Red from Pinnacle Express in it. It was by no means bad and was entertaining but not great.

Haven't seen it, but the line from the trailer...

"What do you mean you people?"
"What do YOU mean you people?!"

Is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

It seems to be getting good reviews, which is odd for a stiller movie in the post-meet the parents era. I'm surprised though, because I thought it would be bad......course i also thought iron man was going to be as bad as fantastic four

Robert Downey Jr. has now turned in two absolutely stellar performances this year. I thought the movie was awesome, it is certainly one of Stiller's best.

Robert Downey Jr. is absolutely hilarious in this. He is to Tropic Thunder what Ledger was to the Dark Knight

Dude, this movie was funny as hell. Probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. And yes, Downey Jr. was fantastic. Can anyone remember what he said when he gave a crazy smile and got serious real quick in one scene? I can't remember and me and my girl have been trying to.

His performance doesn't touch Ledger's. Just in the sense that he made the movie. Without him, it probably isn't that great, just like Heath
