Tropic thunder

I am seriously considering seeing a shrink. I am lost as to why anybody would like this movie. I am so out of touch that I have become the old fart I was looking at first day on the job.

The first five minutes of this film were uncomfortable as I watched a war scene and soldiers mauled with over the top moulage. This chit is not funny.

Then the rambling, vain , goofy, crap that followed was certainly not an Oscar performance as has been declared for R. Downey Jr.

To snub Gran Torino and Clint Eastwood and declare this piece of trash an Oscar contender for Robert Downey’s performance is astonishing.

I am either completely disconnected from people under thirty or I watched a different movie.

Hollywood is strange.

I need some of those goof balls from the shrink, I think.

The wife and I thought it was funny. You have to remember what it is and don't expect to learn anything from it. My neighbor is 58 and he didn't "get it" either so don't feel bad.

Thanks for the heads-up, PB. The trailers looked funny.

I fell asleep during that movie, some funny parts here and there but for the most part it was boring to me...

Watch and listen to the comintary!

It will crack you up, Robert Downey Jr, stays in character as a Black man!

Toxic Mother.......

OP - I am with you. This was bewilderingly bad, even by the below-sea-level standards of most movies that involve Ben Stiller.

Re #5

I heard obama turned down the Downey part to run for President, hmmm or was it the War Lord part.

I didn't think it was very funny..........actually I felt annoyed the whole time watching it.

Stupid movie. Not funny.

Were you sitting on something sharp?

Possibly the DUMBEST movie of all time. Gave up after 1\2 an hour.

Like a ****?

Dumbest movie ever? I guess you haven't watched Soul Plane yet!

I thought it was funny. Of course, I knew it was going to be low level humor - nothing more. My wife was quite amused as well. And, we are both over 50 and still have a sense of humor.

It was supposed to be dumb. It was meant to be meaningless. Robert Downey Jr. was hilarious as the black man... Tom Cruise was funny. Nick Nolte was funny.

Is there something wrong with me??????? Of course, I like Animal House, Neopolian Dynamite, Family Guy, Scrubs, Caddyshack, American Pie, Taldega Nights, and most every other dumb movie that comes along.

Lighten up, Francis!

I thought it was pretty bad too. I fell asleep twice, woke up and still couldn't watch the end of it. I really don't get all the hoopla around this film.

No, I just couldn't find a laugh in it! I love the other movies you list with the exception of Napoleon Dynamite,that may have been the worst movie I ever saw.

I should not of said dumb but worst.30 minutes in and not one laugh,its getting turned off.

it took me a few minutes to get into it... didn't really care for the intro, almost gave up.... Tom Cruise's character was great tho.... have looked for the script a time or two... Tom's lines would be some great quotes...

Hey, I'll admit it is a different sort of humor. But, I was still LMAO about half the time.

Come on: Simple Jack? Hilarious!

This movie was ok... I had a few great laughs, but most of the humor has been played out in many Ben Stiller movies before this one... that's what's wrong with comedy today... Ben Stiller is Ben Stiller in everyone of his movies... same is true with Will Ferrel, Jim Carey, ect... what happened to the Eddie Murphys and Richard Pryors?
