This summer has truly been a rewarding time for movie lovers as the price of a movie ticket sky rockets past $10, (Now there's a reason to go to war!) but I can't complain because every movie I have seen in the theater this year so far has been worth it. No let downs and this past week I went to go see Tropic Thunder.
What's the plot, "Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying," and most people will think its a very funny movie with slightly over the top humor. WHICH is SO true! I loved it and I think most guys will like it to. The humor is gritty, candid and honest. There are a TON of movie references and inside jokes that you won't get (because you don't work in the movie industry) but there are so many jokes that you can't help but laugh your balls off.
This gets an "A" for a comedy film and a "B+" for being a film. The cinematography for the action scenes is excellent and the acting is on point. (Robert Downey Jr is back!) This is definitely a must see this weekend and I'm so going to buy it on DVD. Oh and kill all film critics.

"I understand the concern, but I'd urge a little caution here. Almost everything about Tropic Thunder is politically incorrect; that's part of the point. In for a penny, in for a pound. What the latest controversy seems to miss is that neither Tropic Thunder nor Stiller is making fun of the mentally disabled."
Yes, 'Tropic Thunder' offends; that's the point -- Arizona Republic
