Tropic Thunder
Considering that I have spent two days with family this weekend I found multiple opportunities to show off the first trailer for Tropic Thunder, which looks absolutely classic. Trailers are, however, sometimes deceiving...
Tropic Thunder Screening Report
But not in the cast of Tropic Thunder. The good people at AICN have received yet another screening report for the film that praises the fake trailers, sure, but gives the highest honors to Tom Cruise's small but unforgettable role.
The movie starts out with maybe the best pre movie studio logo footage ever. With GrindHouse we got Machete to start us off, but in this film we get Ben Stiller's characters movie trailer for Scorcher 6, a ridiculous action film. We get Jack Blacks meet the fats(or something like that) which pretty much mocks eddie Murphy in his Nutty Professor roles, and best of all there is Robert Downey Jr's trailer which features Tobey Maguire. It's called "The Devil's Alley" and is in the vain of Brokeback Mountain. There was also a advertisement for a fake drink before the trailers which was pretty funny as well and sets up a character and joke for later in the film.
Now for the best actor in the film. The man who steals the film. Tom Cruise! Yes Tom Cruise was brilliant in this, I won't go into detail because it will be an awesome surprise but Tom Cruise played a role I never in a million years thought he would ever play, and I truly think after this film comes out he will redeem himself to the public and from all the bad press he has gotten lately, because I don't see how you could not like the guy after seeing him really go for it in this film.
I jumped over much of the review's meat, so check out the entire Tropic Thunder screening report here.
