Tropic Thunder: Turkey
After seeing the trailer of Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder" here

and in cinemas, I was kind of sold to see the whole piece.
Expecting a good trashy movie, I unfortunately saw nothing but a bad (dead pan) trashy movie with only some funny bits (most of them already given away in the trailers) and several cheap faux pas to stir controversy (read: get publicity).

They ironically enough wasted their $92,000,000 budget..
They should've buried it to prevent its release into the wild.
I'd say: see the award winning
(the movie already won this year's Golden (Comedy) Trailer Award) trailer and wait for a better war comedy..
What do you think?

I enjoyed it, yes. It was silly, gross, campy and stupid fun, yes. Would I go and see it again? Yes!
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
It wasn't nearly as funny as I expected. The best parts seemed to all be in the trailer. The concept was great, but they needed better writing.
Yes, the writing of most of the jokes and of the script as a whole, i.e. the basis, is subpar. Ironic they still got it produced..
Ya don't go see a Ben Stiller movie for good writing! Go see it for Robert Downey Jr. playing an white Aussie actor playing a black man, AND explosions!
Yeah, based on Eklek's negative word of mouth, I'll pass.
Now THAT'S power!
I say it sucked
