Gleefully un-PC, Tropic is still one of the most hilarious Hollywood comedies of the 21st Century.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2023

Rude and crude, Tropic Thunder displays minimal mercy toward its targets.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023

Tropic Thunder certainly has flaws but at the end of the day, it is an over-the-top satire that shows everything that's wrong with Hollywood.

| Aug 13, 2021

Packed full of hilarious and infinitely quotable lines, it also features two scene-stealing performances by Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise.

Because of the lack of a strong theme or point of view, unwittingly perhaps, the film becomes a version of the phenomenon it set out to parody: an action film, even a semi-patriotic action film.

| Feb 13, 2021

Egregious amounts of violence crop up, but they're mitigated by the constant silliness surrounding them.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 28, 2020

This no-holds-barred send-up of Hollywood pomposity and folly flaunts its tastelessness and flouts taboos with a brazen recklessness.

| Nov 13, 2020

Easily Stiller's best film in quite some time and yet another testament to Stiller's gifts as a filmmaker.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

It's clear the cast is really enjoying itself, making something special...I loved what was happening.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 27, 2020

This movie makes me laugh so hard.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 27, 2020

Tropic Thunder exaggerates on its eccentricity, but it's always dealt with a sense of satirical truth. That in itself develops the film beyond any throwaway comedy that is trying too hard to find that punchline.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 15, 2020

A cast to die for, and one of the truly hysterical and irreverent films of the past few decades.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 4, 2020

The real lasting appeal of Tropic Thunder won't be the lavish production, but the rich send-up of acting as a profession, Hollywood as a culture, and war films as an inspiration to us civilians.

| Apr 10, 2020

Tropic Thunder has to be one of the smartest films of the year about Hollywood and the business, with a script that isn't afraid to poke fun at itself.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 29, 2019

Tropic Thunder looks like it's been plotted by a child... but most of the time you'll be laughing too hard to notice, or care.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2018

If you haven't seen Tropic Thunder yet, go now. There are scenes in it so hilarious the whole audience goes into laugh-convulsions for minutes at a time

[Tropic Thunder] will probably set the bar for over-the-top humor for years to come.

| Aug 26, 2018

Always worth a look for its all-star cast of funnymen - led by Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. and (yes, he really is funny here) Tom Cruise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 14, 2018

Tropic Thunder was post-everything, including entertainment. It's a white boy version of a Wayans Brothers movie, made long after satirizing Vietnam war films could possibly matter.

| Apr 30, 2018

The bulk of this movie, alas, comes down to weak sketches held together by ridiculous action, vast explosions and more or less everything else it should be parodying.
