Tom Cruise is still funny in a non-psychotic way....only when he wants to be.

Tropic Thunder.
I was as some would say, overly excited for this movie. I would like to counter that I was not disappointed so shut your mouth. Not what I expected but soooo much better! This movie works on so many different levels, first there is just the blockbuster appeal of Stiller, Downey Jr., Black etc. Then there are the juicy surprises like Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey. There was the physical obvious comedy, awesome explosions and action sequences and an incredibly well done satirical undertow about the movie industry and those who play a part in it. Plus there is just a killer dance sequence at the end by Tom Cruises character.
It wasn't gut busting every second but every element played into the laughs making them better when they actually came about. I really think Ben Stiller has come into his own and if he can stay writing and directing instead of just acting he will continue to be respected.

And can we give proper respect to Robert Downey Jr. for being such an insane chameleon and character actor?!?!?! Playing a southern rooted black man AND an Australian in the same movie. A genius laugh factory.
