After studying for most of the day on Saturday I decided to take a break by catching the midnight showing of Tropic Thunder. It was definitely the perfect movie to relieve my stress; it was incredibly funny and had a very innovative story line. The movie centers on a group of prima donna actors who are making a Vietnam War movie. However after a series of complications mostly due to the actors’ inability to work together, the director gets fed up and abandons them in the Vietnamese jungle so that they are forced to fight their way out and become the soldiers they are portraying. The story follows them through the jungle and shows the mishaps and hilarious moments that happen along the way, including encountering a panda and a heroin factory.
The movie was directed and co-written by Ben Stiller who also starred in it along side Robert Downey Jr. who I might add is my favourite in this movie and Jack Black. The movie is laden with celebrity cameos including Tobey Maguire, Sean Penn, Tyra Banks and many more. Also keep a look out for Tom Cruise who might be harder to spot than you think.
The movie is full of action and laughs and I advise you all to go see it. (The funniest part for me was when Robert Downey Jr. spoke mandarin). Also do not come late to the movie as at the start they show a number of fake trailers of fake movies that the actors in the film were in. They already had me laughing out loud from the beginning. It was definitely one of the funniest movies I have seen in a very long time.
