This week’s DVD is Tropic Thunder. This was one of the most talked about comedies of the summer movie releases but was lost amongst other top name films such as The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones. The movie features an awesome cast of mega-stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr.
The movie follows around three actors as they film a war film - only to be stranded in the middle of the jungle fighting in an actual war (even though our heroes are absolutely clueless to this fact). The movie is worth the price of admission just to watch Ben Stiller as an “action hero.” Robert Downey Jr. is also quite funny as a dedicated actor who undergoes a surgical procedure to become “black” for his role in the film.
If you are looking for a pre-holiday laugh, check out Tropic Thunder.
