Tropic Thunder

Mel and I went to a pre-screening of Tropic Thunder last night.

This is one funny movie. There are superb performances from all the key actors but I really liked Tom Cruise’s depiction of “Les” the tyrannical movie producer. Robert Downy Jr is excellent playing a black seargent.

The movie is about making a war movie. The “actors” are difficult to direct and they waste heaps of money on a botched special effects scene. The producer (Cruise) decides to dump the actors in a real war zone without telling them and use real jungle and fighting as the special effects. It gets better from there.

This is the best comedy I have seen in a while and if you are into black un-PC humour you’ll love it!
