Tropic Thunder
Get some.
Ben Stiller turns a piercing eye on the Hollywood movie production circus in this hilarious comedy. A group of top actors and crew get together to make a movie about the Vietnam war. The director decides to drop them off in the jungle, telling them that they will be filmed by hidden cameras. As they trudge along through the jungle, they bump into some drug smugglers, who think that the actors are narcotics agents. The actors think the drug smugglers are just more actors... until they realise the truth. They'll need all their acting skill to get out of this one alive. The film has found favour with critics and audiences alike, but beware the strong language.
105 minutes, No persons under 16 (Language, Violence) Action, Adventure, Comedy, Thriller.
