Hadn't seen this in years, and really needed a good laugh. The acting was perfect for this very unique comedy. No pretense (except the intended pretense for the characters roles), just fun.

I thought I was getting a Blu-ray with all the special features and everything but all I basically got was the movie. I bought the director's cut Blu-ray specifically for the special features. The special features option on the menu can't even be highlighed with the remote. I bought this specifically for the commentary from the actors. All I got basically was a movie with a case cover that has Chinese writing all over it which was not shown in the picture when I bought it.

The Directors Cut didn't add or improve the film, but that is not to say that the film wasn't good to begin with. I enjoyed this film a lot and I especially liked the way Tom Cruise dominated in all of his scenes. Stiller once again plays the bumbling idiot that we all love, bringing back memories of zoolander (another fun film by stiller). Jack Black has an unfortunate role that doesnt have a chance to shine or really be memorable. Downey does an excellent job however and nearly steals the show. For anyone who is looking for a good time, this is the film for you. If you already have this film or are only thinking about buying it for the directors cut, then I would stick with what you have. There is nothing worthy added in to the directors cut of the film, but added clarity of blu ray may be enough to entice others. The alternate ending though leaves you thanking that they went the route that ended up in the theatrical cut as well.Read full review
One of my favorite comedies with a great set of cast: Ben Stiller, Jack Black and other famous actors who play their role really well. This movie does a great job poking fun at popular movies and various politically correct themes or social norms, its quite hilarious if you catch all the subtle references. I catch at least one new joke every time I watch this movie. And now that I got it on Blu-ray I can see and hear more of the jokes. It is a great movie to put on while doing other menial tasks. Just remember, "Never go full retard" ;-p

You have to watch the previews during what is usually the time to introduce upcoming films by the studio, but they were ingenious by opeining with spoofs of films played by the actors portrayed in the Tropic Thunder Movie. There were some hilarious parts where I caught myself laughing out loud, which is the true mark of a great comedy. Robert Downey Jr. was fantastic in this film and played the role perfectly. Great purchase as you can watch it over and over again, and the Blu-Ray was fantastic.
