Tropic Thunder: Cinema Verite
Movie Reviews August 28th. 2008, 9:06pmA Summer blockbuster that isn’t afraid to go there, wherever there is. Movie parodies are not new, but there hasn’t been a movie that pokes fun at a movie genre like this in my memory. This movie won’t appeal to everyone and it’s not for the youngsters. It earns its R rating with some very adult language that is pretty funny in how and when it’s delivered. Robert Downey is once again brilliant in his character. He is really hitting his stride as an actor. Ben Stiller is good as the action hero archetype. All the usual Hollywood stereotypes are presented in their stereotypical ways. The cold-blooded producer/studio mogul, sycophantic agent, crazed director and pampered actor are all played seriously and the decent dialog makes for some clever and very humorous scenes. Some folks will not recognize Tom Cruise in the film, but his voice is easily recognizable. He only has one voice and has never been able to produce any kind of believable accent. His character portrayal was arguably the best thing in the movie, but all the characters and a good script are what make this a worthwhile movie to see.
