there are comedy movies that leave you cold, because they not hit your sense of humour. In my case these movies are everthing that Seth McFarlane produces. Ted was okay, but everything else is not my cup of tea.

And then you have actors and filmmakers which just hit your laugh-spot. And for me this is Ben Stiller.

I watched Tropic Thunder the first time with my best friends in our cellarroom with a bunch of bear sixpacks on a video projector. And it was just awesome. It was just funny as hell how the actors in the movie act and how Ben Stiller made fun of hollywood stars, war movies and the whole industry.

Now i watched the movie again and it has not lost any kind of funny over-the-top comedy action.

If you want to watch this movie, watch it with good friends. It will tripple the fun.

9/10

update 09.02.2020: I just watched it on netflix again. Boy, I really like this movie :) Sure, there are some hit-and-miss-Scenes or Scenes where the joke is to long. But for me this are only a couple of scenes. Most of the movie just works for me.

These whiny actors are portraited in the properly best way possible.

Still as funny as the first time I saw this, probably way back in 2008. Good send-up on war movies and just great comedic performances all around, but especially Robert Downey Jr. **3.75/5**
