I saw Tropic of Thunder last night and it was the funniest thing I have seen at the theatre in quite a while. It featured Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey, Tom Cruise, Mathew McConaughey, Nick Nolte, and a host of other cameos. Robert Downey was outstanding as an intense Australian actor (i.e. Russell Crow) playing a black man, and Tom Cruise stole the show as a maniac Hollywood film producer. Very young Brandon Soo Hoo was incredible as a drug lord.

Don’t miss it.
