Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Dennis Schwartz (5,456) for Ozus' World Movie Reviews (5,456) on 13 Aug 2008

Bad as both an action pic and as a comedy…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Betty Jo Tucker (725) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 13 Aug 2008

Prepare yourself for a sledgehammer skewering aimed at some of Hollywood's most offensive practices, including phoniness and those awful trailers…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jordan Hiller (219) for Bangitout.com (219) on 13 Aug 2008

While the blogs and talking heads seem to be wrong-headedly preoccupied with issues of semantics and race, what I found to be the most authentically…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Larry Ratliff (323) for San Antonio Express-News (323) on 13 Aug 2008

It's definitely not for everybody. But it's also very funny as a no-holds-barred, frat-house-party comedy…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 13 Aug 2008

[I]nventively clever in its sendup of the self-involvement of pretty much anyone who's anyone in Hollywood... aggressive[ly] outrageous…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 13 Aug 2008

A breathtakingly funny movie that weaves together huge gut-level laughs with some very subtle and layered satire about show business…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 13 Aug 2008

To peg 'Tropic Thunder' as a satire of moviemaking is to limit its anarchic, outlandish appeal…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Kurt Loder (858) for MTV (492) on 13 Aug 2008

Just when you think it's squeezed every last gasping belly laugh out of you, here comes another barrage of scathing hilarity…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 12 Aug 2008

It spoofs the magic of movies, the narcissism, insecurities and ego-driven minds of actors, the cliches of action films and the bottom-line…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 12 Aug 2008

One of the nastiest American comedies in what feels like decades, taking a well-trod subject - how movies are made - and attacking with a savage…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Beth Accomando (509) for KPBS.org (509) on 12 Aug 2008

It's a film that looks like a big dumb comedy but it proves to have some satiric smarts underneath…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Kevin N. Laforest (610) for Montreal Film Journal (589) on 12 Aug 2008

Even between the great gags, the movie kept me involved because, against all odds, it actually almost works as a straight war film…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 12 Aug 2008

Rude and crude, Tropic Thunder displays minimal mercy toward its targets, yet even its gross-out gags (watch out for those false teeth…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 12 Aug 2008

It's official: Summer is the season for adult comedies, too…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 Aug 2008

The rest of the movie never lives up to the hilarity of the opening, partly because the large-scale production smothers the gags but mostly…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Jeanne Aufmuth (581) for Palo Alto Weekly (965) on 12 Aug 2008

The laughs fly as fast and furious as enemy fire…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Stephen Silver (684) for The Trend (130) on 12 Aug 2008

There are whole subplots that just plain don't work, but when it's on, Tropic Thunder is as funny as any comedy this year…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 12 Aug 2008

There are some wildly funny scenes, a few leaden ones and others that are scattershot, with humorous satire undercut by over-the-top grisliness…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 12 Aug 2008

What keeps everything from imploding are Downey and Cruise, who are willing to push every audience button and damn the politically correct torpedoes…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 12 Aug 2008
