Tropic Thunder
Film · 2008
A group of self-absorbed actors set out to make the most expensive war film ever. After ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading his cast into the jungles of Southeast Asia, where they encounter real bad guys.
The sides of Tropic Thunder
- Actors shooting the most expensive war film ever
- A director who keeps filming after the studio pulls out
- A jungle with a real drug gang in it
Tropic Thunder is good for you if…
- you want a studio satire where every actor is a parody of himself.
- you like a cast of egos bouncing off each other, agent included.
- you want explosions and a jungle firefight inside the comedy.
Tropic Thunder is bad for you if…
- a man blown apart by a landmine, then played for a joke, ruins it for you.
- you can't laugh at jokes about disability or an actor in blackface.
