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. Robert Downey Jr. "plays Kirk Lazarus, a very serious Oscar-winning actor cast in the most expensive Vietnam War film ever. Problem is, Lazarus's character, Sgt. Osiris, was originally written as black. So Lazarus decides to dye his skin and play Osiris, um, authentically."

which one is/was owen wilson

3/10/2008 3:06:32 PM

This movie is suppose to be one of the best movies of the year on a lot of prediction lists, and it has a cast to back it up.

The teaser is pretty funny too. That tag-line on it was "Blowing Shit Up".

3/10/2008 3:13:05 PM

funnier than ¡Three Amigos!?

3/10/2008 4:10:34 PM

I saw the trailer before The Dark Knight--it looked hilarious.

Saw it last night. FUNNY ASS MOVIE. MUST SEE.

8/12/2008 3:48:25 PM

i cant wait to see this one

8/12/2008 4:01:48 PM

And for what it's worth, I thought Tom Cruise was funny as shit. Robert Downey Jr. was probably my favorite character.

8/12/2008 4:10:49 PM

i caught http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Tropic-Thunder-s-Retard-Saved-From-Political-Correctness-9788.html on the news this morning

come on now

8/12/2008 4:22:38 PM

^And now Im more likely to see it, just to spite all those idiots.

Although, I do wonder if the controversy was started by the studio/filmmakers themselves. People tend to flock to "controversial" films, and it gets you a ton of free ad time during the local news.

so at 11pm last night the episode of Family Guy where they say Peter is Retarded was on......so I guess thats OK but not a movie.....................I thought maybe the NAACP would be upset about a white guy playing a black guy. Oh wait but the move "White Chicks" had black guys playing white females so we could easily call them out on that.

How about everybody shut up.

Yeah, good luck on that. It's a one way street and you know it.

Of course it is. It's our street.

That’s what living in a free society is supposed to be about. Leave retard alone. We’re taking it back. "

AMEN

8/13/2008 11:13:30 AM

This is all fucking retarded....I'm ready to go see this shit. Everyone should pack their shit & head to Russia if they're so unhappy with movies in america.

8/13/2008 12:11:54 PM

I'm a fan of Russian cinema.


<3 Eisenstein.

went and saw the midnight showing last night

ahahaha good ass movie, robert downey jr's character is fucking great.

8/13/2008 2:57:39 PM

The movie was hilarious. Robert Downey Jr.'s character was amazing.

8/13/2008 8:18:21 PM

I dont like to give tom cruise credit, but he was great in his role.

for hilarity's sake,
anyone know the name of the gangsta songs played by the Les character?

8/14/2008 9:19:56 PM

^

you mean the the song tom cruise dances to? thats called "get back" by ludacris

8/14/2008 9:24:19 PM

Saw it last night. Funny stuff. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but he was funny in this.

8/14/2008 9:29:41 PM

this movie had me laughin so hard sometimes, i looked like i had gone "full retard"

8/14/2008 9:41:06 PM

So, apparently its a story on Tom Cruise's experience with Scientology and his now total removal from the program.

8/14/2008 9:47:01 PM

I thought it was pretty damn funny.
Tom Cruise was great, Robert Downey Jr. was my favorite.
Most of it is funny, some of it is either too much or just not that funny. But a must see.

8/14/2008 11:23:18 PM

it's nice to see a movie that didn't rely on "fuck" as much as many other movies coming out.

8/15/2008 1:23:23 AM

Dude, this movie was amazing.

8/15/2008 10:57:43 PM

^ uhhhhhh

awful. awful. awful.

funny: tom cruise, explosion guy
not funny: everyone else

8/16/2008 12:19:31 AM

this truly pains me to admit, but i didn't hate this movie as much as i was expecting to.

the fact that ben stiller disappears for a while helps, a lot.

8/16/2008 12:25:42 AM

haha pure craziness, this is the funniest movie i've seen in a lonnnnnnng time. I laughed almost 5-10 minutes after it was over, any shot with Downey Jr. in it is a riot, just him talking was enough to make me crack up.

8/16/2008 12:27:18 AM

^^ yeah, Ben Stiller is starting to get a little old.

8/16/2008 12:54:04 AM

At least Matthew Mcconaughey was actually funny for a change.

I'm going to have to see it again. it was awesome. Tom Cruise was phenomenal. robert downey jr. was just full improv. it was awesome, G.

8/16/2008 4:13:51 AM

REALLY

FUCKING

FUNNY

Thought most the characters were pretty hilarious. Pretty much hate Cruise at this point, but his role was the funniest thing I think I have ever seen him do. Stiller and Jack Black were surprising not bad, and Downey stole the show.
