Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 14 Sep 2008

Tropic Thunder, full of punchlines about Milli Vanilli and Being There, stitches the tired cultural references of one generation to the utterly…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Karina Montgomery (580) for Cinerina (549) on 07 Sep 2008

All sociopolitical malarkey aside, it's a delicious metafictional take on war action movies, hero worship, and Hollywood banality, filled with…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Michael Dance (46) for The Cinema Source (46) on 04 Sep 2008

It's hilarious, and there are a lot of fun cameos and explosions. Did Stiller just steal comedy back from Apatow…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 04 Sep 2008

Say what you will about Apocalypse Now and Platoon, the two films that Tropic Thunder primarily plays off of, but they were not so safe…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Frank Ochieng (928) for Movie Eye (513) on 03 Sep 2008

Thunder is ambitiously blunt and blasphemous in its bombastic barbs of treasured absurdity...[a] calculated comedy drenched in volumes of manufactured…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Richard Knight (277) for Windy City Times (216) on 03 Sep 2008

A spot on spoof that doesn't resort to the smarmy adult adolescence of the Judd Apatow movies for its laughs and is easily just as entertaining…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Des Partridge (52) for Courier Mail (Australia) (71) on 28 Aug 2008

For an insider's take on the movie business, Stiller's action comedy has you laughing from the start…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Todd Gilchrist (762) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 28 Aug 2008

Tropic Thunder is an often hilarious return to form for Stiller after almost a decade of lackluster comedies, but it's also a wildly uneven…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 28 Aug 2008

Stiller never stops bombarding the audience with outrageous ideas, like a monkey throwing dung at a wall…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By David Stratton (799) for The Australian (781) on 28 Aug 2008

In the end, despite its flaws, this is a genuinely funny film, and there aren't that many of those around…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jeff Bayer (445) for The Scorecard Review (437) on 26 Aug 2008

Tropic Thunder is the biggest comedy of the year. It's also the funniest ... attack humor at it's best…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Lessons of Darkness (465) on 24 Aug 2008

Big budget, big stars, big concept -- surprisingly little payoff…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By John Wirt (638) for Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) (638) on 21 Aug 2008

Even if Tropic Thunder doesn't move you to tears, it deserves your consideration…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 21 Aug 2008

Ben Stiller's confidence as a director is growing; this is comedy on a grand scale, with huge effects and a big cast…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 20 Aug 2008

Downey Jr. steals the film as an actor's actor... it's a totally calculated great performance, but not necessarily an easy or obvious one…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 20 Aug 2008

This film is genuinely uncomfortable. In fact, you may want to make sure you know the person you see this movie with very well…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Lori Hoffman (553) for Atlantic City Weekly (553) on 20 Aug 2008

director Ben Stiller gleefully severs the hand that feeds him in his vicious, funny Hollywood satire…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Wesley Lovell (690) for Cinema Sight (678) on 19 Aug 2008

This Hollywood industry parody features solid performances from Robert Downey Jr, Jay Baruchel and Tom Cruise and a generally funny execution…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 19 Aug 2008

One part hilarious; one part offensive; one part too inside Hollywood…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Robert Roten (1,865) for Laramie Movie Scope (1,865) on 19 Aug 2008

A pretty good basic idea, but it falls a little short in execution…
