Tropic Thunder Movie Compendium (Guest Commentary from Dan)

5/5 Stars

So this movie suprised me. Obviously by the picture on the left, it's going to be awesome. There's a Kung-Fu Panda, Iron Man playing a black man, and Ben Stiller. What's not to love about that?? So the best part of this moive is Robert Downey Jr. playing an actor who gets way too into character and has a skin procedure done to make him black for his next movie. He acts like an African American man from Lousiana most of the movie, which makes it awesome. Jack Black plays a heroin addict, so himself, who is going through withdrawal and makes crazy promises and statements.

Another part of this movie that is awesome is Tom Cruise. That's right, he's in it too. He plays a crazy businessman who funds the movie "Topic Thunder" that the guys are filming. He has an awesome dance scene in the credits. (I'm pretty sure Scientologists aren't allowed to dance to Ludacris, so I don't know how he reconciles that)

Overall, I think Tropic Thunder is a great movie, as it showcases real drama like Tobey McGuire holding hands with Robert Downey Jr. I hope that Scientologists don't get too offended by the crazy Tom Cruise dance, I mean it's like he is back on Oprah dancing on a couch because he's crazy. Moral of the story is, Tom Cruise says the F-word about 200 times in this movie, so you know it's gotta be good.
