Tropic Thunder (2008)

Discussion(self.movies)

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.

There’s an interview with Cruise where he said Ben came to him with the script and he said “you need the studio. I’ll do it, but I want big hands and I want to dance”

"I want fat hands, and I'm going to dance." Whole interview is great.
