I recently got to go see Tropic Thunder and I have to say that the movie was significantly better than I was expecting it to be. Directed by and starring Ben Stiller, who I absolutely detest in most movies, I had very low expectations for this film.
The movie is full of filth and jokes done in really bad taste, so just a heads up, it isn't family friendly.
The movie is about making a movie based on a book about the Vietnam War. The actors are all unable to work together to complete the film, so they are dropped into the middle of a jungle where they encounter real life hostile forces. Hilarity and crass comedy ensues.
While certainly not for everyone, if you are able to deal with foul language and rude humor, there is a lot of funny to be had with Tropic Thunder.
