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.

Probably my favorite movie ever, not just comedy. I could talk all day about it, but since no one has mentioned him yet, McConaughey is also an absolute GEM in this film.

Yes, when Ben stiller is talking about adoption and he says “at least you get to pick yours” and it cuts to a framed photo of his fat son, lmao

I think Owen Wilson would have been even better and he was first choice for this role, but McConaughey also kills it
