Tropic Thunder Review!!

It's pretty late at night so this review will be just decent. Tropic Thunder is about a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie that are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying, through a series of freak occurences. It stars Ben Stiller as Tugg Speedman, an A-List actor that is slowly fading thanks to failed sequels of his action films, and unsuccessful films such as Simple Jack. To Speedman, this war film, could ultimately bring life back into his career and shoot him back to the stop. Stiller shares the spotlight with Robert Downey Jr, who plays Kirk Lazarus, an multiple oscar winning actor known for his extreme immersion of the roles he plays, and comedian Jeff Portnoy, played by Jack Black.

These actors along with a few more, Brandon T Jackson, and Jay are thrust into the jungle, which is rigged with hidden cameras to capture in the moment scenes. The comedy in my opinion is great, and I loved it. Scenes develop who the characters are, and the viewer can get a grasp on understanding the issues. The performances are top notch, the scene may have a serious ominous tone, and the actor may be very convincing and in the moment, but what makes it hysterical is the words that are coming out of his mouth. It's priceless. This movie may be satire or parody, it doesn't matter, as long as the viewer enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it. Overall, it was a fun watch, and I could probably watch it again. Seeing Robert Downey Jr portray a black man is worth the $9.00 to see this.
