Hannah and Abby were not prepared for how far this movie was prepared to go. They were shocked again and again and yet somehow the film was captivating and fun. They loved how uncomfortable it made them and enjoyed the movie immensely!
They have both heard of Tropic Thunder before, but were too young to have watched it when it was first released. Both were excited. A movie with Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr.?: sign us up!
We have watched a couple of other movies with Ben Stiller before:

Okay, but you can just look at Bunnytails Reacts channel for that… as an added bonus, she got some big ol tiddys 😍 I want to marry her
Behold, God’s MISTAKE!!!
Other channels do ST OS- find them
Personally disappointed Abby went straight to labelling it "problematic" without even considering context, then immediately says Tropic Thunder "aged poorly" in the after-watching vid.
Least Hannah went along for the ride; but I enjoy that about Hannah.
Can’t speak for everyone, but as a black dude in his mid-40s from NYC, this movie is a classic. I’ve never heard anyone in the hood have a problem with this movie, cause RDJ’s not making fun of us, he’s making fun of the actors that take these kinds of roles. We’re in on the joke, we’re not the punchline. That’s why the actual black actor’s there, to say “aha see? We know this is ridiculous & we’re calling it out in the movie”. It’s fine to laugh at funny shit without worrying if it’s “problematic”. Black people are smart enough to know when we’re actually being insulted. This wasn’t it. Even black comedians I’ve heard on the topic, also commend RDJ for this role. Jamie Foxx, Deon Cole, etc. This movie’s one of the highlights of RDJ’s career, not a negative. He killed this role.
Thanks for your comment and for watching with us. We enjoyed the film a lot, as you can see in the video. As a number of other folks pointed out, the film is problematic in purpose, and it's a part of why it's fun.
I'm glad you had a good time with our video. 😁
Thank you for commenting, I think you add important context that I was missing before watching. I appreciate your insight!
Bro same, and then when I brought the dvd and RDJ stayed in character, loved it
Agreed. Black dude mid 40s too and this is my favorite RDJ role and still one of my favorite comedies.
The one year the academy should have handed out 2 best actor awards. But heath ledger had joker in the bag!
As a black person, there is nothing wrong with RDJ’s “blackface” he’s not doing it, his character had the pigment procedure and the whole point is he’s making fun of actors that go to far
just a dude playing a dude disguised as another a dude
RDJ is pretty universally praised for his performance here. It's generally acknowledged that the performance is a clear mockery of the lines "method" actors will cross without thinking about it, and the absurdity that they engage in.
Precisely. There is a scene in "Kramer vs. Kramer" where elevator doors open, and Meryl Streep's character is supposed to look devastated. To "help" her, Dustin Hoffman has been reported to have slapped her across the face without warning, right before the doors opened. This was brought up during the height of #metoo, but nothing came of it.
Every single one of his jokes is making fun of himself.
That's what makes it work.
There's no need to be uncomfortable watching this movie. I don't know a single black person, myself included, that was offended by RDJ's performance. I think it's one of his best roles ever.
It's hilarious to me to see the younger crowd look visually uncomfortable with RDJ's role when I remember the entire theater erupting with laughter at the time.
Don't forget, this is a movie that makes fun of how out of touch actors can be.
And they did such a great job with that!
Thanks for your comment
RDJ was nominated for an Oscar for this role! And both Tom Cruises and RDJ were nominated for Golden Globes.
A concept pushed by billionaires like Murdoch and Trump, in fact responding to Trump George Clooney reminded him that he grew up selling books and buying a suit one size too large so he could cut off material to make a tie where as Trump grew up with a silver spoon and takes his dumps on a gold toilet... seriously stop getting sucked in by far right media.
Tom Cruise killed it for this role 👌.
1st time I watched it I didn't realize it was him😂
He was amazing lol, took us soooo long to realize it was him
People like me are still waiting on a Les Grossman film@@charlesbarnes6912
DIET COKE!!!
I only like him when he makes fun of himself… Rock of Ages is another. I like Edge of Tomorrow because he’s not an indestructible James Bond ripoff spy! He gets his ass kicked over and over until he finally gets good. I like that. They put him in his place- he’s been an arrogant little prick since Top Gun. Married like 5 times and every wife keeps getting younger each time
Absolutely hilarious movie! Seriously though, you were “uncomfortable” at RDJ’s role? Your generation is doomed! Only young Shiite kids get offended to easily. It was a brilliant performance.
White…….not Shiite.
LOL and here I was, trying to figure out where it could’ve been assumed from this reaction that either of us are Shiite Muslim. I can’t speak for Abby, but I’m not affiliated with the Shia branch
@@MyBuggalugga That's good, stay away from that crazy LaBeouf actor guy!
@@yt45204🤣🤣🤣
@@MyBuggalugga Sunni?😝
I hate when people think this movie couldn't be made today because of RDJ in blackface, or that there is even anything wrong with the blackface in this movie. The blackface in this movie isn't offensive, because black people aren't the butt of the joke. Historically, blackface was used to show black people as stupid and uncivilized; here, it's being used to show how dumb extreme method acting is. And this movie absolutely could be made today. Society's attitudes haven't changed that much since 2008.
It couldn't be made today, not because of the blackface, but because they just don't make movie like this any more, goodie parodies and comedies that poke fun or are really Zany and out there just don't get made anymore
I've heard that when Mel Brooks was told "you couldn't make that today" about some of his comedies, he said "we couldn't make it then either, but we did." Same thing with this.
@@gamexsimmonds3581 That doesn’t make sense.
@Will_Fly_the_UA-cam_guy Why not
You do realize that a very vical group of people were making a fuss about the movie and kinda wanted Ben Stiller to apologize and he had to come out and outright say that he's not sorry for Tropic Thunder?
So yes, its absolutely true that Tropic Thunder would not be able to be made today.
God bless Robert Downey Jr!
He’s a great actor. I’d love to see Satan’s Alley if it were real lol
"I don't read the script. The script reads me." That's my favorite line in the movie.
🤣
That movie is f**king brilliant. It's been controversial since it released but it's still hilarious to this day. It's a unique idea, a genius 4th wall break on Hollywood and a shockingly star-studded cast.
Hell no! RDJ received praise for his performance in this movie BY black people! it's the funniest shit ever! 😂 😂
facts
he got Academy Award nomination for the role... he almost won an Oscar for playing the black dude (and australian blonde, and vietnamese farmer... he played a lot of things in the movie :P )
As I recall, Tom Cruise said he would only take the part if he could dance at the end and that he had big arms. Something like that. Tom was also in Night at the Museum as a caveman. He and Ben Stiller must be buds.
That was such a good choice on his part!! I loved how I didn’t realize it was Tom Cruise until way later in the movie. It made his role so much funnier and more memorable.
I’ve never seen Night at the Museum, but I remember hearing about it a lot when it came out.
Thanks for your comment!!
You really need to watch Night at the Museum (2006). Ben Stiller stars. It was sooooo good and well worth your time. Watch even on your own, if need be. There were two sequels that were wonderful. Robin Williams is in it as well which makes it all the more special.@@MyBuggalugga
RDJ was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in this, no need for discomfort - it's a satire on method actors ;)
You will be hard pressed to find a single black person that was mad at RDJ. He absolutely killed it, it was one of his most incredible rolls. This whole movie was a check on how ridiculous and out of touch Hollywood actors can be. In that context, there is no issue with his role.
What's worse than rdj being black was Tom Cruise playing a bald guy. Took the job away from hard working actual bald actors lol
Fat, hairy, bald guys to be exact
Tom Cruise nailed it, mind, and proved he didn't have to ride a motorbike in every single role. Dude has range.
@@jackspringheel9963Dude is one of the greatest movie stars of all time and an American hero idgaf
The world needs more movies like this and Blazing Saddles to scare uptight people back into laughing.
RDJ was actually nominated for an Oscar for this role. He lost to Heath Ledger.
No black people were harmed in the making of this movie, viewer discretion is advised
Probably an unpopular opinion nowadays but A comedy should never be described as problematic . Its comedy! We are supposed to be able to laugh at messed up things sometimes, in the context of comedy at least. Lol It’s a shame we all have to walk on eggshells now but I don’t think anyone will be mad at you for laughing at this movie, it was a different time when this was released, and it was a better time 😩
Robert doesn’t get any hate for this movie. The movie pokes fun at actors who method act LIKE RDJs character. Honestly, Ben got way more hate for doing simple Jack. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loves Robert in this movie.
Im black and when me and my fam watched this we were crying like crazy 😂
Funny, silly, ridiculous and stupid, shouldn't be told it's not ok. that's the point! just enjoy the adventure
Love it. This is the best satirical comedy ever made. It puts Hollywood on complete blast mocking the crooked/cruel producers/studios, rampant drug use, how minority actors get screwed over, and how out-of-touch/insecure actors generally are among other aspects of Hollywood life. Absolutely fantastic.
Abby took things too serious & thought jokes were problematic. I didn't expect you guys to get some jokes of movies you haven't seen. But what she found problematic remember intent matters when use words or making jokes
They laughed at plenty of the "controversial" stuff. Chill out.
@@Jeremy252 I never used the word controversial she called it problematic I was very specific
She found the fart joke in the beginning "problematic", ffs...
@@dupersuper1938 no she found the trailer for Fatty's problematic not the farting, but good try
What's funny is they loved the trailer making fun of a gay movie but I don't think they understood
But they can find any of it funny or not funny none of it was serious
Abby seems like she'd be super fun at parties.
This movie should have won an Oscar for Best Child Toss.
🤣🤣🤣
are there other good nominees?? the child frisbee was the best part of the movie lol
It is Hollywood however I doubt there will ever be a child tossing category 😂
Downey Jr. was nominated for an Oscar for this film. Greatest performance you'll ever see in a comedy. It seems more controversial in 2023 than 2008. However, the Academy Awards didn't have a problem with it. And rightfully so 👍
i had no idea he was nominated for an Oscar! I would love to know who he was up against!
@@abbywatchesmovies Unfortunately he was up against Heath Ledger's Joker.
@@abbywatchesmoviesHe was runnerup to Heath Ledgers Joker. Its funny to think he almost won an oscar for this movie.
The greatest comedy ever written, and that will NEVER be equaled! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Saw it in the theatre and have rarely laughed so hard! :D
When I first saw it in theaters, I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard several times 😂 This movie really deserves a place among the best comedies of all time
I’m sure the theater was filled with laughs! I wish I could’ve seen it when it came out, but I was 10 years old… so that wouldn’t happen unless I bought a ticket for an age appropriate movie and snuck in to this one…which I definitely *never* did to watch horror movies in theaters as a kid 😂 🤫
It's an incredible comedy for sure, but I wouldn't say it is the best ever written. Blazing Saddles is easily on par if not better written than Tropic Thunder. And was 30 or 40 years earlier.
It's good but no Airplane!
"I wrote the book as a tribute, I'm a patriot!" 😂
Nick Nolte was fantastic in this movie
He was!
This movie poked fun at Hollywood the way "Blazing Saddles" poked fun at the nation at large, and I believe both did a great job.
The looks of abject shock on your faces, once y'all recognized Tom Cruise...CLASSIC!!
😸
“Man, everyone’s gay once in a while!” This line KILLED every time I saw it in theaters 😂
I loved this 😂
Considering he's a "method actor," you now have to think about the beginning of the movie, with the advertisement for Kirk's other film, and now that line is ^way* funnier.
When the alleged stories about Will Smith came out, this was the first thing that came to my mind, and I died laughing.
I'm a dude playing a dude disguise another dude.
"" I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude .....""
I'm a rooster illusion.
Iconic line 😂
Black people don’t need you to feel offended for them, none of them were offended by this
Editor's note: I am curious at what point did you decide that the girls acted "offended" in the video? The video we published is one of two people thoroughly enjoying a movie.
@@RuntotheMovies 4:25 to 4:32
@@HBC423😹 they're not offended, just shocked and uncomfortable. Those are glorious reaction moments you're pointing out. In an earlier response to a comment above, Abby compared it to watching The Office: it's uncomfortable and cringe, but fun.
Not a single time during this video did they say they were offended.
the difference between generations is wild lmao. They will never know
I don’t comment on social media that often but I thought I’d try spread some positivity, you guys do a fantastic job. the editing, the quality, all of your personalities and commentaries are one of a kind. A couple years isolated with epilepsy, your videos give me a lot more to smile about, thanks guys, keep it up :)

@toy4871 @MyBuggalugga @abbyygross @RuntotheMovies Thank you all so much for replying! You guys r awesome 🩶🇦🇺
Robert Downey Jr is my favorite black actor
He was an actor doing blackface within the fictional context of the movie. It's making fun of and mocking blackface. And it is funny as hell. You guys are good reactors and it's fun to watch! Don't worry too much!
I chew on the "Simple Jack" stuff more, and debate with myself about that. But I suspect it could be viewed the same kind of taking the piss out of Hollywood. But that's a tougher sell to me at this point I guess.
Unrelated note: I love your guys' fashion and am realizing what an old ass I am because the 90s are back in style and it looks cool as hell.
thank you for the outfit love! the 90s are back!!!!
Get over yourself, not only does Robert Downey Jr. not get crap for this role, he was nominated for best supporting actor.😂
fun fact at the mtv movie awards, tom cruise came out in full make up and did a live performance to the ludacris song. He even danced with Jlo.
Omg WHAT. I’m looking this up immediately lol
@@MyBuggalugga They don't have the full performance up that I could find. You can find like bits and pieces tho.
RDJ has gotten lots of praise for his performance in this movie actually since it shows the absurdity of blackface
The entire point of him doing black face is a commentary on why its bad to do black face. Just like there are several other critiques on the movie industry.
I waited for the "is that Tom Cruise?" moment and it was so worth it. Loved the reaction :)
😸
Ben Stiller came up with the concept for Tropic Thunder whilst he was on location during the filming of Empire of The Sun; in which he was playing Dainty.
Tom Cruise had quite a lot of input into how ridiculous his character would be…..making the hands huge was done on his request.
Thanks so much for these tidbits!
Tom Cruise rocked this cameo!!!!
He was the best!
@@RuntotheMovies "I want fat hands, and I wanna dance " Tom to Ben Stiller
Now shut the f*ck up and let him do his job!!! 😂
A comedy satire masterpice, Ben Stiller is a real genius for direct this classic film.
Not blackface. RDJ is playing a white guy (kirk lazerus) whos playing a black guy (sgt lincoln osiris). The part literally couldnt be played by a black guy.
Editor's note: The girls were reacting to the warning displayed at the beginning of the movie. It listed violence, language, and other stuff that you usually see, but this time the list also included "blackface."
Let's be clear. Blackface was not okay in 2008 either. That's the joke.
Right, I get how it’s a joke about the method acting / actors being out of touch. I was commenting on how the rating for this movie listed “blackface” under it as one of the reasons it is rated R. The inclusion of that seems to have changed since 2008. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m inclined to believe that when this movie was released, the MPAA didn’t include that as one of the depictions worthy of note when writing those lists under ratings; they probably didn’t consider it as part of their rating criteria at all.
Hey Abby, your brain short circuiting from all the scenes are so Epic, hilarious and to die for.
It’s funny. Just laugh.
We did, many times :) that was probably the most common affective response we had while watching this. You’d know this if you watch long enough to see past the initial shock about something that wouldn’t get released today (I think that begins less than 10 mins into the reaction…) You’ll see plenty of laughs between the two of us!
In any case, thanks for watching and commenting! Till next time :)
Now that the video is out, we are having a great time laughing at all the butthurt comments.
This was an uncomfortable watch, but not because of the movie, because of your reaction. I mean this with the greatest of respect, but I don't think you got the intent of Simple Jack & RDJs "pigmentation procedure". It's mocking the Hollywood absurdity of casting and attitude as a whole. Take it from me, a disabled person - I don't get all worked up when I see an abled actor playing a disabled character. For better or worse, it's part of what the movie trade is, so take it for what it is. RDJ really didn't get any backlash - other than award nominations. Sometimes things aren't what they seem, & taking immediate oppobrium isn't really necessary. Anyways, as I say, that's all said with a good heart, no offence intended.
Well said
Editor's note: I am curious at what point did you decide that the girls acted "worked up" in the video? The video we published is one of two people thoroughly enjoying a movie.
"Abby.exe is not responding" was brilliant. Good on you both for expanding your horizons! This was the high water mark of "absurd" comedy, where nothing was off limits. Hopefully we can get back there someday.
So glad you enjoyed the reaction and the edit! 😸
i need that pop up for my real life, it happens more than I’d like to admit 🤣
If they were uncomfortable with this wait until they get to the movie all UA-cam reactors do: Blazing Saddles. They need everyone gathered for that.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people request this! I’ll watch if they yeet another child across the jungle 😂
They didn’t figure out it was Tom Cruise, did they?
25:15 never mind.
Also I bursted out laughing @32:43-32:46. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was like
"I can't breathe I can't breathe."
I couldn't breathe cause I was laughing so hard when he threw him and he went flying @32:43-32:46
That kid caught major air 😹
The amount of quotable lines is insane in this gem of a movie.
It is a masterpiece of comedic-cinema!
Hannah and Abby
Robert Downey Jr didn't get much backlash by being "Blackface", major taboo in entertainment or in anything else.
"You're gonna need a U.N. binding resolution from keeping me from fuking you up!!! " Tom Cruise is legend
He was amazing in this role!
@@RuntotheMovies fun fact, the look that McConaughey throws during that scene is legit because if I'm not too much mistaken in the script all been had written was Les freaks out
I saw this in the theater, and couldn't wait to buy the DVD - it's the only movie I've ever watched the commentary version. RDJ earned his Academy Award nomination.
The only thing that changed is people are soft now.
"The universe is talking to us right now..."
-Les Grossman
"You?!!! You!!! Hit that director in the face... Really f*cking hard."
Epic!
Tom cruise agreed to do the role of Les Grossman under the condition that he have giant hands 🤣 that was his only demand, giant hands.
And he wanted to dance too, not on the original script 😆
I can't believe it was the middle tooth that gave it away to Hannah that it was Tom Cruise. It was great watching it slowly unravel like how it was watching it in the theatre. Noone knew until the credits!
So glad you enjoyed this video! 😸
This is one of the best movies ever. Everyone is to sensitive in my opinion. This movie makes fun if all of the crazy stuff actors do.
"Never go full R" xD gets me every time
Some amazing lines in the movie but: "I don't know what it's called, I only know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life,"is epic. Especially with the callback later.
I need some dudes who speak AMERICAN Goddammit, cracked me up
This movie is hilarious girls. I saw it in real time inside the theaters. I don't know a black person that doesn't love this movie. I miss times like this when we could all just laugh. Everybody loves rdj - before and after this movie😆. My favorite part of this reaction was when you guys could not control your laughter at the most ridiculously funny moments. Thanks.
There absolutely were quite a few ridiculous funny moments. 😸 Thanks for watching with us!
Ahh I miss those day's were everyone could laugh together and have a good time.. Can't do that now tho.. someone might get offended!! :O
This movie is a parody of Hollywood. Also platoon, apocalypse now, mission impossible, saving private Ryan, Indiana jones amongst others
I remember watching this in theater. First thought ten minutes in was “oh they dgaf”. It was so funny
The movie is funny because of how outrageous it is
I love how today 's youth have a problem R.J.D in black face but have no problem with the movie white chicks.
tom cruise himself came up with the idea of his fake fat hands and ben stiller and no one got it but tom was like "trust me bro" xD
True story, for a few years they were trying to put together a Les Grossman movie with Tom & Ben but just could never get it fully figured out. Personally, I would love to have seen that movie.
Maybe it'll still happen. It would be glorious!
25:15 That is Tom Cruise. After his infamous interview with Oprah where he was acting weird, he got this role some time later and people seeing him in this role got him a lot of goodwill. Also coincidentally he based the character on Harvey Weinstein.
Thanks for the background. Tom Cruise was amazing.
When i first read this I thought i missed an Oprah cameo too… man, that could have made the movie!
Who left the fridge open....
this reaction made me uncomfortable
And the award for "Best Child Yeet" goes to... Tugg Speedman!"
I have a couple of "issues" with this film.
1. If "the camera wasn't even rolling", how did Access Hollywood get the footage?
2. Kirk Lazarus sis not actually undergo "pigment alteration" surgery. It was a publicity stunt for the film. After his revelation at the end of the film, he becomes very white.
Despite these, this is one of the best comedies ever made. Just brilliant.
Is there anyone who wouldn't pay to see "Satan's Alley"?
Regarding point #2, this is such a good observation. Nice catch!!
Also, I would 100% go to a midnight release for Satan’s Alley 😂
On point one, someone was probably filming the simultaneous "making of" documentary.
@@DavetheGrue possibly.
Would it be normal to have extra cameras filming to keep track of continuity, actor placements, etc?
@@yt45204 I've no idea.... I've never been on set. So.... maybe.
Lol @ the new girl being offended on the world's behalf throughout the movie. Great stuff. :)

@@RuntotheMovies Hannah didn't seem to be offended by anything. She gets that it's just a comedy, but it did seem like her buddy was acting like she was offended.
She should take a leaf out of hannah's book and just roll with the punches. Not to take things to heart.
It's only comedy.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage exactly. This is just a UA-cam video. Folks should learn to not take it to heart and be offended by someone with a different worldview. The number of people in these comments who are triggered by this reaction video is staggering. Like someone more eloquent than I said in an earlier comment, the Anti-SJW crowd are the real "snowflakes." Both Hannah and Abby enjoyed this movie a lot. They cringed, but had a great time. It was fun to film and fun to edit. The only part that's not been fun is having to police this comment section. The vitriol that idiots hurl in the direction of two of the most intelligent people I know is staggering. At no point in the filming did either Hannah or Abby act offended. They were shocked, which made for an excellent reaction video, and they were delighted to be right about it being Tom Cruise in the suit, but they weren't offended at any moment. The only folks offended are the keyboard warriors leaving mean comments on this video. I actually considered taking the video down, but decided against it. I'm not going to have a small number of imbeciles dictate what content we publish on our channel.
Hey Hannah and Abby, at first glance the black face, simple jack, is offensive. ------ In fact Ben Stiller is quite intentional with the portrayal of the various characters, they are held up as a reflection of Hollywood, actors and the movie studio establishment. -------- Letting us know that actors are not Gods, just people with a highly paid desired skills, with access to fame and fortune
This movie is so hilarious. I’m surprised it took Hannah a long time to realize Tom Cruise was in this movie. I was wondering if they would recognize him lol I seen this at the theater when it came out. So many famous actors in this film
Once I saw the middle tooth, the truth was revealed 😂 thanks for watching with us!

RDJ got a lot of praise from the black community, Ben Stiller got the opposite reaction for Simple Jack!!
Tom Cruiz's best performance.
Everyone makes this movie about "blackface". Please allow me to bring up others before this. Dan Aykroyd in "Trading Places". How about Eddie Murphy doing white face as a Jewish man in "Coming To America"? Blazing saddles blatantly exposing stupidity. It is comedy and parody. It is only negative or "racist" when people make it stupid or for their own purposes. PS racist is a stupid term there is only one race homeo-sapien. Everything else is an ethnicity based on geographical evolution. Hence Hitler was not racial cleansing but Ethnical Cleansing with his campaign. One race. A real racist would simply hate humans you know murderers and such. This will garner some hate but also hopefully raise some intelligence and conversation about the truth. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Much love to you as well!
The word "problematic" triggers me !
Totally. That word used like that is a frickin joke
I was fine with the vulgarity, the crude humor, and even the portrayal of violence toward animals but I really think they crossed the line when Ben Stiller actually went whiteface. What is this the seventh century? 😉
This movie is indeed problematic. That's the joke. That's why its funny.
You gotta love it when Hollywood makes fun of its self. All three of the main acrors nailed there roles! Hope to see Mortal Kombat 1995 version soon. As always my friends, great reaction 😊
Mortal Kombat reaction coming to our Patreon shortly, my friend. 😸
thanks for joining us!!! let us know if you have any recommendations of what we should watch next (i haven’t seen most movies so you have a lot to work with ◡̈ )
Toms voice is so iconic, how can you miss it :)
I'm amazed there've been so many movie reaction youtubers who didn't instantly recognize Tom Cruise. The weird suit that gives him giant hands is insane. Other hilarious moments:
- when Tugg throws his briefly "adopted" Asian son (his other one) off the bridge, there's a little kid version of a Wilhelm scream
- Sandusky first asks Kirk Lazarus if he really dated Jennifer Love Hewitt and he said that was just media/tabloid speculation-she was the hot girl who was Sandusky's date to the Oscars
I saw it in theaters, going in the staff told us to make sure to stay for the credits. I recognized Tom Cruz, but a lot of people didn't. When they reveled his name at the end people gasped and made shocked sounds, then they laughed and applauded.
Yeah I don't know how but I didn't piece together who it was until probably halfway through the movie 😂.
this movie is a comedy hahaha they should make this movie again, but even crazier
Robert Downy Jr. was nominated for an Oscar for this movie.
If you want to visit where the shot the jungle scenes, it is in Hawaii.
That's cool! Thanks for the tidbits.
This movie is HILARIOUS! I don't know any people of color that are offended by this. Downer and Cruise stole the movies. Lol
Tom Cruise dancing to "Low" is one of the greatest things to ever happen in history 😁
😸
very good reaction, but I think your friend was out of jelly beans
🤣🤣🤣

You saw all this "problematic" stuff in this movie? Yes? You're still here, right? Still alive, still able to function?
The world is still going around, life is still happening.
Just a little perspective on "problematic". You had a good laugh, and nobody died... well except for the director.
agreed, although it was an uncomfy watch It was kind of like watching The Office, made me cringe but also made me laugh!
15:08 - Didn’t you mean to say that Ben Stiller looks….Simple Jack’d ? 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
