Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 26 Mar 2015

Some of the writing is very smart, its strain of show-business satire is dead-on and often hilarious, and some of the performances have an…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Simon Miraudo (882) for Quickflix (709) on 20 Oct 2014

Tropic Thunder is probably the best war-movie spoof of all time, playing around with all those cliches and conventions we've seen a million…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 01 Aug 2014

The movie is laugh-until-your-stomach-hurts hilarious…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 28 May 2014

Although this satire of Hollywood inanity isn't the comic classic it could have been, Downey's gonzo performance is a must-see…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for Premiere (771) on 28 Dec 2013

From Downey Jr.'s purposely racist embodiment of African-American anachronisms to Black's scatological humor, everything in Tropic Thunder…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Dec 2013

It's raunchy, outspoken -- and also a smart and agile dissection of art, fame, and the chutzpah of big-budget productions…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Lou Lumenick (2,103) for New York Post (6,650) on 21 Nov 2013

Basically a mega-budget war movie that makes fun of mega-budget war movies…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Lawrence Toppman (1,654) for Charlotte Observer (1,670) on 08 Sep 2013

If you wait through the credits, you get one last joke in the fine print: The actors shot the whole movie in Hawaii, on the fabulously lush…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Sep 2013

Never lives up to the hilarity of the opening, partly because the large-scale production smothers the gags but mostly because those gags are…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By David Ansen (1,073) for Newsweek (1,534) on 27 Aug 2013

Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie of the summer--so funny, in fact, that you start laughing before the film itself has begun…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Variety (12,700) on 28 Jun 2013

Apart from startling, out-there comic turns by Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise, however, the antics here are pretty thin, redundant and one-note…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Salon.com (2,725) on 27 May 2013

An imperfect work of genius, a satire of Hollywood excess and vanity that dares to tread territory laden with minefields…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 18 Apr 2013

Biting as it tries to be, Tropic Thunder is mostly toothless. Its targets – Hollywood vanity, Hollywood tantrums – are easy hits…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Dan Jolin (289) for Empire (3,446) on 03 Feb 2013

There are moments of comedy grandeur, but this isn't as consistently funny as you'd hope…

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 03 Feb 2013

When it's all over, you'll probably have the fondest memories of Robert Downey Jr.'s work…

By Kirk Honeycutt (1,481) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 31 Jan 2013

Stiller manages his movie nicely so that all actors get their share of the comic spotlight…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Joanne Kaufman (79) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 28 Dec 2012

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Ali Gray (310) for TheShiznit.co.uk (506) on 13 Oct 2012

Tropic Thunder is an easy film to enjoy…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Scott Foundas (913) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 21 Sep 2012

Like this summer's other slapstick cause célèbre, Pineapple Express, it's a comedy with as high or higher a body count as the movies it purports…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jeffrey Lyles (696) for Lyles' Movie Files (591) on 09 Aug 2012
