Oh yeah!! Ben Stiller is back bigger and better than ever. "Tropic Thunder" is one of the funniest movies I have seen in years. It was well worth the $6.25 for the matinee ticket (I can't believer that's the matinee price).
The best part of this movie is not the plot, which actually isn't bad, but the acting and actors. Ben Stiller and Jack Black are hysterical, but the Oscar worthy performances are Robert Downey, Jr. and Tom Cruise. Both are over top good, no holds barred, completely vulnerable performances. Matthew McConaughey and Nick Nolte round out the stellar comic performances. The remainder of the cast is awesome!!!
Keep your eye for cameos by Tobey Maguire, Jon Voight, and Lance Bass, of all people.
My only disappointment, however, was that I didn't see Jerry and Anne, Ben's parents. They did such a great job in "Zoolander" I was hoping Ben would bring them back.
Go see it, you won't be sorry.
