    I loved this movie. Oh wow. I went in not expecting much and came out happier than a goat getting action in a field of the best goat food ever.

    But what really made this movie for me, were the rosary beads...

    I've seen Tropic Thunder twice already, and I can definately say it's the funniest movie I've seen in a while. Each of the actors played their characters well and it was amusing seeing each of them clash what with their own unique personalities.

    The insults were hilarious and Robert Downey Jr. in particular was funny as hell.

    Did anybody catch the ode to Apocalypse Now when Ben Stiller went semi-insane later on in the movie?

    I enjoy transgresive humor if a) the movie has affection for the characters and b) it's actually funny. Nothing's worse than a movie that thinks being outrageous is the same as being funny. Fortunately, Tropic Thunder is funny.

    I loved the ads and trailers. Which leads to the inevitable question: if they actually made (SPOILER)Booty Sweat, would you buy it? I once passed on the oppurtunity to buy a sports drink called Whup and I'm still kicking myself.

    Well anything Ben Stiller pretty much equals autofail, but I gave it a chance anyway.

    The part where Tom Cruise's character was dancing to T Pain's "Low" was so painfully unfunny it forced me to walk out.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I thought it was pretty funny. Thought that Robert Downy Jr. made the film. A lot of it was over the top and outrageous, but what do you expect? I agree with Ouch, the movie never took itself too seriously which just made it that much more fun.

    Loved the bit with the whole, "what do you mean, YOU PEOPLE??" That made me laugh and laugh. xD

    I thought this movie was pretty funny. I thought the trailers at the beginning were hilarious. 'I've been a bad bad boy, father...'

    All of the characters were over the top and very entertaining.

    I like on the trailer that I seen:
    Ben Stiller: I can't believe you people.
    Robert Downey Jr.: You People? What do you mean you people?
    Black guy: *looks over at RDJ* What do YOU mean, you people?

    I think we can all agree that Tom Cruise owned in that movie.
