Hats off to Tom Cruise.
Yes, I said it. Good job Tom Cruise.
I think the man is crazed, don't get me wrong. (Scientology? Oy vey.) And I've never been overly impressed with his abilities as an actor. Tom Cruise is always Tom Cruise.

Really cool cast. However, you might want to wait for this one to be released on DVD. I'm a fan of the cast but not this movie. It looks as though they had a blast making this movie. Oh, in my opinion, the funniest parts of the movie are the scene.........

More Information
In the action-comedy Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. He sets out to Southeast Asia with a "Who's Who" of celebrity co-stars. They include Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense, three-time Oscar(R)-winning actor; Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), star of the popular gross-out comedy franchise "The Fatties" who's forced to kick his drug addiction while filming on location in the jungle; multi-platinum hip-hop-star-turned-entrepreneur-turned-actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson); and first-timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel). Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real-life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they're portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece. Ben Stiller says "Tropic Thunder" is a "a comedy about five actors who go on location and find themselves relying on their boot camp experiences when they get stuck in a real war-like situation."
