Note: This review contains spoilers by revealing cameos from the movie that are much funnier when you don't know about them going in. So if you haven't seen it you may want to skip this.
"Tropic Thunder" is a movie that I wanted to like, the premise is funny and the principals are all funny, but in the end it left me feeling empty. The best part of the movie, without a doubt, is all the cameos and bit parts filled by celebrities. You've got Jennifer Love Hewitt, Matthew Mcconaughey, Tyra Banks, Maria Menounos, Christine Taylor, Jon Voight, Jason Bateman, Lance Bass, Alicia Silverstone, and, best of all, Tom Cruise. Cruise delivers the best performance in the film and steals all the laughs as studio head Les Grossman. Other than the moments that Cruise is on screen there wasn't a whole lot that made me chuckle. Like I said, I wanted to like this film but in the end my expectations were not met and I felt like it should have, and could have, been funnier.
Rating: 5.5 out of 10
