I think if you compared success with talent as a ratio, Ben Stiller would be at the top of the list. Through his skill as a screenwriter and director (and apparently pal to everyone in Hollywood) he has parlayed his modest acting skills into a solid career. And he is willing to do anything, as Tropic Thunder proves. There is something here to offend everyone. Jack Black also proves that if Deliverance is ever re-made, he would be good for the Ned Beatty role. But moving on. Along the way show more there are a few laugh out loud moments courtesy of the sheer ridiculousness of it all. And the fact that the actors seem to be having a hell of a good time. Tom Cruise, almost unrecognizable as a megalomaniac producer is sensational. About the only way the film doesn't manage to offend is in its treatment of women--since there are hardly any here. This makes a good late night alcohol-fueled watch. Just don't make me do it again. show less

This movie really is a lot of fun to watch though I'm wondering how humans and animals exist side by side in this film (as opposed to say, Zootopia or Sing) but the 'bad guys' are all adorable in their own way. Definitely recommend.

My wife can't stand this movie. I think it is a good comedy making at statement about society.
