Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/

Seriously, I didn't stop laughing the entire movie.  If you like Ben Stiller or Robert Downey Jr you should see this.  I will not say more due to risk of ruining some of the jokes!

And if you didn't know Robert Downey Jr plays the black guy... and he's damn good at it too hahahaha.

4.5/5 :bob: (cuz even great things aren't perfect)

I have a lot of respect for Downey's talent - Stiller on the other hand makes my eyes spasm.  All the reviews are praising Downey for this one.

I know what you're saying Zone, Downey is friggin awesome and Stiller is a little on the blah side.  He should stick to producing/writing rather than acting IMO.  Most of his roles seem to be the same character with a different name... except for Dodgeball, he was actually pretty funny in that ;)

yea, I've noticed that about Stiller too. But most of his movies are funny even if he's in it.

I finally saw this, and was again bored by Stiller, but thought Downey was great - he was actually better at being the black guy than being the Australian alter ego.  As its a comedy he hasn't really a prayer of an award, but he should get one.  IMO Stiller has spent so much time in therepy, he can't write a character without dragging out a couch. Yawn.
