Definitely not for family!!!
Vulgar. The language in many spots was downright vulgar. Had a couple of nervous laughs at the extreme violent imitation of decapitation, etc. for the "movie" they were making, but the spots that were vulgar kept popping up. The overall premise was good, that's why I went, but the language was just awful, even in the "normal" parts of the movie. I would have walked out if I hadn't been surrounded by people on both sides... If I had known it was going to continue, I would have pushed past them anyway. Don't go. Maybe they'll finally get the idea that we enjoy movies with a little more class than this...
This really doesn't deserve
This really doesn't deserve one star but I gave it one for the two or three times I laughed. If you just have to see this wait until it comes out to rent so you don't waste as much money as we did going to the movie to see it. My wife and I went to see it based on a recommendation of a friend. We won't follow his recommendations again! Stupid, horrible, ... movie. This is two hours of our lives wasted that we'll never get back!
Whew
Wow. The guys who posted the last two comments appeared to be so involved with themselves, they forgot to rate the movie! Wow!! So I took the liberty of rating it again for them. If you didn't find the movie funny you probably ought to pinch yourself to make sure you are not dead. lol.
Tropic Blunder
It is definately a guy movie...the wife didn't like it at all. We both weren't too impressed with this one. It had a cast of famous names, but it wasn't what we expected. There was SOME funny parts, but it seemed like we were watching Deliverance all over again. In fact, Jon Voight made an appearance in it at the end. I thought it was too serious. Everyone was talking about how it made fun of handicapped and black people, but I didn't see it . That was a ruse to get off from the fact the movie sucked. I would wait until this comes out on Demand or rental shelf. It wasn't worth paying top dollar at the theater.
ok movie for the whole
ok movie for the whole family but came short on acting

Stupid humor
I'm not a fan of stupid movies but I did laugh quite a few times! Very gory in a very fake way. I did look away a couple times even though the blood was obviously fake. Good movie for a few good laughs. Don't expect too much and you won't be let down.
Too funny
That was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time! Definately worth the money.
Awesome
This movie was good. Had laughs all through out the movie. Worth the money 100%. The start was great as well.
troppic thunder
How vulgar do can we be. The trailer is the only funny thing about this movie.Do we have to resort to such crude talk for a laugh. It's not funny. Jack Black should refuse to say things like that. Ben Stiller what a let down. This and Step Brother should not be made.
Very Goofy!
I found this movie to be really goofy and was just awful. It kind of reminded me how silly "Dodgeball" is. I literally fell asleep during the middle of the movie because it was so bad. Save you money for something else.
I LAUGHED, AND I LAUGHED!
I went in giving Ben Stiller the benifit of the doubt. I am glad I went. Great spoofs. Robert Downey Jr. definitely made the movie. Mal Vincent mentioned spoofs about Vietnam and asked if we are at a level to where we can laugh at it yet? To me the movie was more of a spoof on "Hollywood" and how stupid they can be. My wife can't stand Ben Stiller, "Zoolander" did it for her, but she had a good laugh and enjoyed the movie.
