I Disagree, I think that movie was so funny. It's possible it's overrated, but aren't most movies?

Yes, it definitely was. Robert Downey Jr. was hilarious, but everything else was unfunny for the most part.

Besides the fake trailers it was a pretty bad film. Robert Downey JR was the only good thing about the film and that became tiresome after 15 minutes.

Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise were hilarious in that movie.

I dont think any film can be overrated. I didnt think this film was "overrated" or bad. I thought it was one of the better comedies in awhile. A great praody of war films and hollywood. Robert Downey Jr. was hilarious.

I was really hyped for it, while it was hilarious, it wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be.

Was pretty hyped for it, but it was even better than I expected.

Excellent movie.

Hilarious and smart.

The "never go full *r-word*" speech made me hate Rain Man and Forrest Gump...

Yeah, it is a bit overrated to me. I like the concept, but most of it felt weak. However, I did enjoy Robert and Tom's roles in the movie.

I think it is very overrated. The only parts that I found funny were the parts with Tom Cruise.

It's not Robert Downey Jr.'s role that took Tropic Thunder, it's the whole satire of the Hollywood industry that really made me laugh. And satire isn't meant to be funny for everyone, so yes, the humour is hit-or-miss.

I laughed so much while watching it. Just plain hilarious, but it seemed to be pretty hit or miss with a lot of people.

The Player did Hollywood Satire in 1992 and it did it in a far more intelligent and funny manner.

It was very overrated. The only funny parts were Robert Downey Jr.'s character, and Steve Coogan. Tom Cruise and his stupid dance were overrated, Jack Black was useless, and Ben Stiller isnt funny.

Agreed. Every time they seemed to have a joke coming on, they would just substitute a swear word and think it was funny. Especially Tom Cruise's character, who was possibly the most unfunny person I've seen in a movie ever. Also, how could a movie make Jack Black unfunny? There was not one point in the movie where i could laugh at anything. Horrible, horrible movie.

For the last time, satire isn't meant to be funny to begin with. Tom Cruise isn't trying to be a funny character, he's acting as a label exec who wears a fat suit and incredibly evil.
