So I loved Tropic Thunder.
I actually think that people that thought there was too much "retard" talk are overly sensitive. I understand that plenty of people out there have handicapped family and it strikes a nreve with them. But then don't see it. You don't have to go see something because "you need to know for yourself." You are going into it knowing that you are going to be mad. And as self fulfilling prophecies go... bingo, bango, bongo: you're mad.
Others have complained that the movie is too "inside" the industry. I consider my self a filmmaker at heart and an avid learner of the industry. But I thought it was damn funny stuff regardless of the "inside" bits. And I think those who don't get it, just don't get it.
Overall it's a great comedy. A little slow at times and oddly paced in general but great performances from everybody on screen, especially Tom Cruise. So much so, I have faith in Tom Cruisse again adn never once thought, Oh yeah, I hate $cientology.
