Tropic Thunder is an easy film to enjoy. It appeals to the basest levels of humour without patronising its audience, while pricking the pomposity of the movie industry without going too 'meta' - this is far from self-fellation.

Tropic Thunder is probably the best war-movie spoof of all time, playing around with all those cliches and conventions we've seen a million times before.

Cruise and particularly Downey are something to behold: They give this Thunder its lightning.

Some of it is very funny, some of it is too broad.

Though some of the caricatures wear thin, some of the acting rises to a high level.
