This is a great example of exactly why I don't like Ben Stiller. It's one of those movies where you're thinking to yourself throughout the whole movie, "Man, who the hell pitched this movie? Who the hell produced this?" Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Sure, there are a few giggles and guffaws here and there, but Tropic Thunder can never quite make up its mind about what it is. Is it satire or slapstick? It tries for both but achieves neither. Mostly it's just a lot of crude humor and hammed-up bluster. You can get a better show watching late night stand-up on Comedy Central. 6.3/10.
