Tropic ThunderWho's in it: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downing Jr., Jay Baruchel, Brandon T. Jackson, Tom Cruise, Brandon Soo Hoo, Nick Nolte
What's it about: Tugg Speedman(Stiller), Jeff Portnoy(Black), Kirk Lazarus(Downing), Kevin Sandusky(Baruchel), and Alpa Chino(Jackson) are the five actors in Four Leaf's(Nolte) novel based movie. They refuse to cooperate and then are put into real life danger in the Vietnam jungle. They are being taped throughout this experience but they think that all of the Vietnamese people they meet are actors. They meet Tran(Soo Hoo), the adolescent leader of Flaming Dragon, a heroine plant, and Tugg is captured. Les Grossman(Cruise) gets a call from the drug sellers and tells them that they can kill Speedman. The other 4 plan an attack on the camp to save him.
What I Think: This was a great movie for all of the actors in it. Ben Stiller is not only an outstanding actor, but he directed this movie as well. He's a mastermind of comedy! He picked the funniest cast ever. The plot was great, but still had that serious feel to it. Downing played a great "dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude"! Black did his part absolutely perfectly. I'm proud of all of these guys. I didn't notice until the end, that there weren't any main female roles at all. They did great to not have any women in it. There was a brief moment of nudity, but that's all.
