How to classify a bad comedy?
There are many things that could lead to someone dubbing a comedy bad. The writing, the acting, the plot - anything.
Tropic Thunder, a cast of Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, Ben Stiller and even Tom Cruise. Out of those four, who are more-often-than-not dubbed funnymen? Jack Black and Ben Stiller. If you were an alien, or had lived under a bridge with no electricity for fifty years and the first comedy you see is Tropic Thunder you’d come out thinking that Robert Downey Jr and Tom Cruise are kinda funny, Jack Black is just fat and likes to wear as little clothing as possible and talk about his ass and Ben Stiller relies on his stupid face and stupid voice to eek out giggles out of drunk women.
Tropic Thunder sucks, big time. A terrible movie which made me laugh six times. Four times at Downey Jr, once at Tom Cruise and once at that slightly pudgy guy from Drillbit Taylor and Pineapple Express. (imdb.com names him as one Danny R. McBride).
the movie’s premise is simple, a bunch of big stars go into Vietnam to make a war movie, they get mistaken as invading American soldiers and shit goes down.
With annoying bit parts for the ever shitty Steve Coogan and the annoying Matthew MCConanananana-hey! The film just didn’t do it for me on any level. I like stupid comedys every now and again, I laugh at Will Ferrell, I laugh at Reno 911 (a lot) but Ben Stiller, you ain’t done no good with this one, boy!
Avoid this one, please.
