Review: 'Tropic Thunder'
Published 8/12/2008 at L.A. Times - Movie News

>
OPPOSITES DO more than attract in Ben Stiller’s unapologetic R-rated comedy “ Tropic Thunder” -- they loudly and defiantly collide. Simultaneously smart and dumb, mixing clever satire with way over-the-top raunch and unrelenting profanity, this equal opportunity offender risks running off some of the very people who might appreciate it the most.

I can almost foresee the entire film ...
