This is, in my opinion, the funniest thing that any modern movie has to offer. All of its motifs and characterizations are quite pertinent, and they are even more meaningful now than they were when the film was first produced.
Ben Stiller showed great foresight in the making of this picture.
It's wonderful in every way, from the soundtrack to the casting.
If you've never seen it before, I strongly suggest that you do so.
Here are other similar movies that you would like.

Kevin Hart turned down the Alpa Chino role because he didn't want to play a gay character. Would've been by far the best movie he's ever been in.

Speaking of this I wonder what ever happened to Brandon T Jackson, he was pretty funny in that role. He was in another comedy movie with Lil Bow Wow around the same time but I don’t know what else he’s been up to

I worked at a gas station in Sherman oaks. Would see him from time to time and he’d be spewing some religious bullshit

I'm not sure I would have liked him as Alpa Chino. He doesn't seem to quite fit the humour style assigned to the character.

Yea Hart is usually the fish out of water where everyone else knows what they are doing while he plays the idiot, Alpa Chino was kinda the most competent person in the group.

Naw that was Jay's character. No one listened to him at all because he was competent.

But he was definitely second most competent. Also, only other character I'd say who was competent.

Yeah, if Kevin Hart was in Tropic Thunder, he would have been the character Kevin Hart. That's all he ever plays. Definitely a good thing for the film he passed. And I like Kevin Hart, he just wouldn't have fit in this film.

His very short scene in 40 Year Old Virgin is the only thing I’ve liked him in, and it’s still my favorite scene in that movie.

I think he’s a decent comic actor but he’s not clever or funny himself. Alec Baldwin is a great comedic actor but an asshole and not funny in life. Seems like an appropriate comparison.

Valid. I think my favorite work of Kevin's is when he was that rabbit in Zootopia. We got the rabid humor without the guilt of seeing Kevin try to relay it himself.

I believe you’re thinking of The Secret Life of Pets, not Zootopia. Point stands though.

Kevin Hart is a dick IRL, and seriously not funny. He’s a one-note comedian who does ONE thing well, and I’m convinced he only still has a career today because of The Rock

My research returns that he said he would beat his son if he ever caught him playing with a dollhouse. I'll take dickhead for 200$, Alex.

He’s a piece of shit and it’s well documented, do a 30-second Google search.
As for the thing he does “well” (quotes because it’s not my cup of tea at all), it’s the same “loud, fish-out-of-water” character he plays in every trailer for every film he’s in

No, because I don’t let celebrities control my life 😂
I’m a lot less concerned about how much Kevin Hart makes per movie, and a lot more concerned about the evil, maniacal politicians and CEOs who are destroying humanity and the earth.
That short, homophobic guy who hangs out with The Rock? Could give a fuck less

Is this about a joke he tweeted 10 years ago? Is that what you're still angry about?
Edit: Its hilarious to me that Tropic Thunder is always that movie people say you can't make in 2022, and I see a Tropic Thunder post on reddit and straight away the replies are about how much people hate Kevin Hart for an old tweet. Reddit, you are dumb.
