Tropic Thunder
If only because we're trying not to have every other update be on The Dark Knight this week, we have been alerted to another early report for Tropic Thunder.
Latest Tropic Thunder Screening Report
One of AICN's own has now posted a report on Tropic Thunder and, though he doesn't normally report on comedies, he liked this film enough to vouch for it.
But I respect this movie so I thought I should vouch for it. For me anyway it was alot of belly laughs and at times bordered on genuine brilliance. I was kind of in awe of the complex juggling act Stiller is doing as not just the movie-within-the-movie but the movie itself becomes a parody of modern movie styles, making fun of cliches other parodists aren't even smart enough to notice yet. The score is by some guy named Theodore Shapiro, who mostly does cheesy comedies. I sure hope the screening I saw was his score because it's perfect, hitting on every modern action cliche from the quiet exotic sounds during slow motion money shots to the rockin guitars during chaotic battles.
I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but when this comes out next month I recommend it if you like laughter and all that and if you have the same sense of humor as me, which you probably do, because I don't know man, you seem pretty cool. I think you would like it.
While pretty much spoiler-free, the review does give away some cameo roles. Read the entire report on Tropic Thunderhere.
