Tropic Thunder

You know, I had high hopes, or even, high expectations of this movie. Ben Stiller, Jack Black; they both had spotty histories with me. Dodgeball and Meet the Parents are STELLAR but Meet the Fockers and Zoolander fell flat with me. Shallow Hall and Orange County were great, but Nacho Libre was a stretch. And it seemed to me that they both were in this movie just to be IN a movie. Robert Downey, Jr was ok but that's still in the con pile b/c you expect him to be more than ok. Sadly, the best part of this movie was Tom Cruise's over the top movie exec portrayal. The whole movie felt forced. I have Mr Brooks sitting on my table right now to watch tomorrow and hopefully that will be a better show.
