While filming the over budget war movie, "Tropic Thunder" the five feuding action stars are thrown into a guerrilla style shoot within the Vietnam Jungle--so they think.
If you know anything about Hollywood and how it works with the multi millions of dollars that are thrown around, the insane producers, the ruthless agents, the weaselly assistants, the pampered actors, and never ending media coverage --this movie has it all and shamelessly makes fun of every aspect of it--Hilarious!
There are a bunch of really funny cameos and unexpected actors that turn up in this satire. Robert Downey Jr. is brilliantly funny as the "black man". Jack Black is perfectly cast as the coked out comedian and Ben Stiller who has recently been in nothing but flops seems to play himself--perfectly.
Perhaps my affinity for film and movies in general makes me like this movie more than I should. I found it to be extremely funny despite its crass nature. One warning, this movie is not for the weak--it is rated R and for good reason--there is a little bit of violence and gore and a whole hell of a lot of profanity.

Rated R (for pervasive language, violence, drugs and sexual references)
