But it was fucking TOM CRUISE!!!

so? it just wasn't funny.....anyone else agree?

his first dance was hilarious. so random

the one during the credits, unneeded

Yup, first dance was hilariously random.

The second dance, not so much. It's just because it was Tom Cruise that it was okay.

This movie was very funny. The trailers were great especially Ben Stiller's. The story was wonderful and Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise were the highlights of the movie.

A

Enough said these three were great together

I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Right behind Blazing Saddles for funniest.

Downright HYSTERICAL! TDK of comedies! Everybody shines! That guy who played "Alpa-Chino" ( ) is a young chris tucker; black was gone for most of it but came on strong at the end "Ill literally suck your dick" or "Were gonna fucking die!". RDJ Stiller Nolte

-Lance Bass
-Jennifer Love Hewitt
-Cruise was funny, but the first dance scene was funny, but the 2nd was dumb. But I give him props for saying fuck that many times, given who he is, in a frat pack comedy.
-BOOTY SWEAT!
-BUSTANUT BAR

The trailer though just CANT be topped. Even though you knew what Stiller said (who left the fridge open) it was still The Fatties was kind of dumb, but when the letter "farts" out out the relese date I died ...."5 time academy award winner Kirk Lazurous......and mtv movie award winner for best kiss....tobey mcguire"

SOMEBODY HAS TO GET THE PROLOGUE(s) ON YOUTUBE!

That said, this was pretty large scale; the shot of him running in the begining with the helicopter crashing in the backround was tight;

And Cruise and McCounghenys roles were way too big to be just a cameo, and for real; how could you not immeadietly tell it was tom cruise?

Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. shone in a masterwork of a comedy. Its only problem was that there were too many big actors in great parts, and some of them got pushed aside to make way for the better roles. Other than that, it was just big laugh after big laugh. Full review coming soon.

God, I reallllly wanna see this again

Ive died laughign 3 times in a theater; mio talking totally losty "AHAHAHAHA" at tops of lungs

#1. zoolander
#2. anchorman
#3. Borat

I give you....#4.

TROPIC. THUNDER.

B+ It was good, but not hilarious. Maybe I went in with too high of expectations but I wasn't dieing of laughter, and it just went on far to long. The first half was pretty much all over the place, but after that it really picked up. A lot of jokes hit, but when they missed it was silent. Stiller was great, but the Simply Jack thing went on to long. It was funny yes, but annoying. Cruise was great but not as good as I had hoped. Matteo over there, his cameo as well went on far to long. Bad things aside, it was an overall good movie. BUT If it weren't for Cruise, Black and RDJ this movie would have went to shits. PE and SB though, were both funnier. Satan's Alley though was the funniest thing I've probably seen all year.

i don't think it's even the funniest part of the movie, yet i think it certainly merits the honors you applied to it in any other case.

I think that line is the funniest line ever said in a movie.

Tropic Thunder. Second funniest movie ever.

in moviegeeks opinion

possibly the best cameo / brief comedic performance I've ever seen. if this movie had been like a $200m+ blockbuster, Cruise would've erased almost everything he's done for himself the past few years. Sadly, its performance isn't strong enough to erase it all.

But it certainly has revived a career that otherwise would've been dead in a good five years.

Cruise was in too many scenes to be a cameo; will ferill in wedding crashers, or vince vaughn, ben stiller, jack black, and luke wilson in anchorman-those were cameos. This role probably took atleast a week or 2 to film.

Outtakes for Cruises must be hilarious

They HAVE to make a tropic thunder 2, btw

i hadn't seen this before, but they make so many jabs at one another, it's fantastic!

not an actual sequel to Tropic Thunder, but another movie with those characters, definitely.

or maybe just a Kurt Lazarus / Les Grossman duo spin-off.

There's a faux documentary called Rain of Madness coming out soon. Might already be out, check itunes.

Really half the theater? 2 or 4 person theater.

Mine theater was full and I heard laughs and claps but no one stood up.

PS. Also on this scene it looked like RDJ was shooting into the sky as he was shooting up. Very Wierd.

some questions...

- so was this the movie that was suppose to include Owen Wilson and what part was he suppose to play > I imagine the part got re-written for either Black or RDJ.

like the year where there was basically a 50/50 split of the better comedy - Wedding Crashers or 40 Year old virgin.

I am wondering how these 3 would be rank

Step Brothers - personally I go with this as the funniest but TT had some highs also.
Tropic Thunder
Pineapple Express

I think he was suppose to be the comedian... so Jack Black....

I've had crowds like that, just full of enthusiasm and positive energy. Best time to see a comedy like this is the latest screening any night on opening weekend - - it's quite a different experience to see it for the first time in an empty matinee later in it's run, or God forbid, on DVD at home...

He was going to be the agent (which McConaughey played).
