Review of Tropic Thunder (2008) by Phildog — 26 Aug 2015

When it rarely made me laugh, it made me laugh hard. Everything in this movie, the acting, writing, Special FX, and comedy are all varying wildly in quality. In spite of that I would think this movie was deserving of an 8 just barely falling short of a 9.

I had to take a point off for the complete lack of women in this movie, and the fact that the casting was so blatantly sexist I have to take a point off for. This movie has only one actress in it, Yvette Nicole Brown, a great comedic actor in her own right if only she was allowed to shine. So many female comedians could have added to this project, and it's a shame that wasn't allowed to happen. No movie can be allowed to get away with that, not even one as good as this.
