It stops just short of going over the edge
You can hear the thunder? Tropic - thunder that is! Tropic Thunder was an entertaining and was also a very interesting concept for a buy dvd film. The dvd included famous actors Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr… and get this Tom Cruise? If you think you were going to see a thriller will be disappointed, but those looking to see some comedy will find plenty of that.
The dvd movies itself is about a bunch of actors in a thriller war movie who are sent into the jungle to get research their movie parts, but end up getting trapped in a real battle… even though they are totally unaware. It’s a great concept which gets the group of actors in a bunch of hilarious situations.
Tropic Thunder stops just shy of making it over the top with satirical humor that bites with a freshly acute sense of its own importance. The first section of the movie has an energy and wit that makes it a joy to behold, but even still as Ben Stiller tries to bring it all together into a cohesive hole, the humor drains from the dvd, and it all turns a little tiresome.
One of the funniest aspects of the buy dvd movie is Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Kirk Lazarus. In the actual movie, Kirk Lazarus is an method actor who really likes to delve into his characters, and this time he goes to no end and pulls a reverse-Michael Jackson, hilarious! Overall, this dvd is a must-see for comedy lovers, and is sure to be a great selling DVD.
