No one has mentioned the fake trailers before the film started? Those set the stage for the movie. I thought they were awesome.

Booty Sweat

The Fatties

Satan's Alley

Scorcher Part 6

At the movies my GF leaned over and said why are these previews so odd? She thought they were real too.

I watched it about two days ago and had a similar reaction. Nobody else thought the movie was eerily ironic (for most of those actors)?

Watched it last night, and to be honest, I thought Simple Jack looked like it would have been a better movie than Tropic Thunder.

The "full retard" lines were by far the comedic peak.

Cruise had the funniest part of the movie.

"Oh, ok 'Flaming Dragon'... frick-Face. First, take a step back and literally frick YOUR OWN FACE... You're gonna have to call the fricking United Nations and get a fricking binding resolution to keep me from fricking destroying you. I am talking scorched earth MOTHERfrickER. I will MASSACRE YOU. I will frick YOU UP.

frick YOUR OWN FACE

Maybe it's just me, but the excessive cursing bit is old and no longer funny to me.

Besides Tom Cruises rants and a few other scenes, this movie was highly overrated. Ben Stiller is the worst actor on the planet. It took Jack Black & RDJ to really keep this movie from being a complete flop.

Watched it Saturday. It wasn't near as good as I expected. But I thought it was decent.

Why do people keep saying it was overrated?

Did it win an Oscar or something?
Overrated by who?

Easily the best part is when they are discussing a plan to break ben stiller out of the heroin plant and kevin is asking them if they read the script and robert downey yells "WHATCHU TALKIN' ABOUT WITH THE SCRIPT-BOOK SPIT THAT shite OUT, MAN!" and he just stares at him with a half-way smile smirk creepy looking face

I watched it this weekend......I thought it was very decent. Not hilarious or anything....but definately entertaining. Downey, Cruise, and McConaughey were all money......but Downey was in a league all by himself......he made the movie. "We cool?"
