Tropic Thunder [will this be one of the funniest movies ever?]

The only part I really liked was when Jack Black was strapped to the tree, and the other actor talking about Lance.

You Never go Full r****d!

 

I liked RDJ and Tom Cruise and I normally can't stand Tom Cruise.

 

I thought this movie was hilarious, and I had pretty high expectations when I saw it. My wife and I still quote bits of that film to each other. It wasn't deep or the funniest movie I've ever seem, but when it hit, it was awesome. Robert Downey Jr. should be considered for an Oscar.

 

That's it?????

Wow...I know we all have our tastes, but to say those were the only two good parts of the movie amazes me.

 

I saw this movie a couple weeks ago. It was so awesome. I keep watching parts over and over again.
I am strangely obcessed with the Simple Jack character. I want to see that movie!

"it's a g g g g g good brain!"

"pump your brakes kid, that man is a national treasure"

 

Just saw this. Instantly one of my all-time favorites!

RDJ was so convincing that he wasn't funny unless you stop and think for a minute about what the heck is going on, then it's one of the funniest things ever.

I loved just about everything about it. Jack Black had me laughing the most I think. And I thought McConaughey was awesome in it (although I think his presence along w/Cruise should be a spoiler still).

 

funniest movie i have ever seen. please point me to another if you think i am wrong.

 

Probably one of Ben Stiller's best movies

AMANDA!!! . . Awww Come on man .. . That's probably not even her real name . . . ..

One of the best comedies of all time.

 

this movie should be taught in colleges all over the world. tom cruise and rdj should have gotten oscars

 

Tropic Thunder, Step Brothers and Talladega Nights are my go to for comfort comedies.
Used to be Friday, Black Sheep, Tommy Boy and Happy Gilmore.
All on my top comedy movies

 

What do you mean "You People"?
What do YOU mean "You People"???

 

happy gilmore was dope. i don’t know about the 3 before that. way before my time.

 

This is another movie that I have never watched in full, it's one of those movies you have seen so many clips of, you don't ever prioritize because you have seen the best parts.

It's also amazing because RDJ never got a lot of flack for doing blackface, even in the "cancelling" era.

I am happy he did not.

 

Blackface is offensive because it's overt reinforcement of racial steryotypes with no greater purpose - "look at me, I'm black, I like to eat fried chicken and watermelon, lawdy, lawdy".

His blackface had a more nuanced motive, and was almost poking fun at the idea of blackface and identity.

I guess I understand why it could upset people, but I really hope people understood the difference. It was "blackface" but not with the overt denegration and cultural baggage associated with that term.

 

This movie is good but very overrated -- certainly not an all time classic comedy.

 

Yeah that was exactly it, a subversive look at blackface.

The woke and cancelled crowd did not care about any nuance, it was burn everything down that was even slightly "offensive".

That's why I did not get upset with the VA gov doing Michael Jackson he seemed to just be a fan of MJ.
