Went with c9th to see Tropic Thunder. I went into it with mixed expectations. That Kimi and Justin wanted to see it again, combined with the Ben Stiller interview on the Daily Show, I was thinking there must be something else to it than just the slapstick humor the trailer implied.
From the beginning of the film—which I won’t even talk about, since it would spoil the surprise—the film takes on this tone that is kinda difficult to catch. It switches between taking itself seriously (<- is that correct word usage?) and ripping on Hollywood.
It is a movie I would watch again, just to experience the reaction of the audience. There was one part where I starting laughing at a movie reference and was made self-conscious by the fact that only I found it funny (my infectious laugh doesn’t do well in theaters).
Worth seeing and discussing.
