Tropic Thunder

Who's in it? Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr
What's it about? A group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.
What type of film is it? Comedy
Is it any good? This film is hilarious. It’s not going to win any Oscars and won’t tax your brain but it does exactly what it says on the tin and dishes the laughs out like they are going out of fashion. The script is razor sharp, the casting is spot on and the acting is suitable over the top – and the A-list cameos are hysterical and pitch perfect. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just a film for guys because it’s set in a war, it is the perfect Saturday night entertainment for a fan of any of the leads. Genius.
