Tropic Thunder (Unrated Director's Cut + BD Live) [Blu-ray] by Dreamworks Video

    Be strugglened: The film, too, is dedicated--to being an equal-opportunity offender. Its political incorrectness extends now not handiest to Lazarus's black-like-me posturing but additionally Speedman's contemporary, Sean Penn–style Oscar bid enjoying a cognitively challenged farmboy--or, in Lazarus's deathless phrase, "going the entire retard." Others within the forged embrace Steve Coogan as a director out of his depth, Nick Nolte as the Viet-vet novelist whose e book impressed the film-within-the-film, Matthew McConaughey as Speedman's sun-blissed agent again home, and Tom Cruise--bald, fat-suited, and profane--as an epically repulsive studio head. Two hours working time is a mite extreme, however in any other case, what's to not like? --Richard T. Jameson Stills from Tropic Thunder (Click for higher image) It's now not truly a knock to say that nothing in Tropic Thunder is funnier than its first five minutes, so sly that--especially for folks observing in theaters--you don't realize instantly they're the opening minutes of the film.

Such taking section in quick and bathroom loose with corporate talismans verges on sacrilege, but it can be an index of how much le tout Tinseltown suggests the film as a demented valentine to itself. The premise is that the forged of a would-be "Son of Rambo" film capturing in some Southeast Asian jungle get into a real taking pictures battle with drug-smuggling montagnards. Don't ask--though the movie does have an answer--why such excessively paid, regularly ultra-pampered personnel as superhero Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), Mozart of fart comedy Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), hellop-hop artist Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson), and 5-time Oscar-winner Kirk Lazarus from Aus-try-leeah (Robert Downey Jr.) should be working through the jungle unattended and very inclined. It topics only that the real-life solid has a excessive time kidding their very own occupation and flexing their comedic muscles. Bonus factors go to Stiller for co-writing the script (with Justin Theroux) and directing, and to Downey, brilliant as a white actor surgically became black actor for his position and completely committed to staying in persona no matter what ("I do not drop character until I executed the DVD commentary")..
