      I watched it recently for the first time, having huge expectations, and I was horribly disappointed. A lot of characters felt miscast, the pacing of the movie was too slow for half of the time, the dialogues taking place had little weight or depth, and just generally, the humor felt like was tailor-made for 13 yr olds. I kept waiting for the big funny thing to happen, and it never did. When JoBlo hinted that there hadn't been a comedy movie as good as Tropic Thunder since it released, it really took me by surprise. There's tons of movies that are funnier than this movie. Heck, even some non-comedy movies have been funnier than this one.
      Just my two cents..

    I already knew he was doing just fine but it was great to see a video on it! That seen with him sliding across the wood floor with a fake dog in his hands from “There’s something about Mary” is epic. God Tier

    Never realized he directed so much, and his ability to just fall into any role is quite amazing. He never really feels like a one note actor, his range is crazy impressive.

    Yes, you said it right. He's a genius. But, like any comic actor, he is often considered a lower caste or a pariah compared to actors who have made great dramatic movies like Kevin Costner and Leonardo DiCaprio. In my opinion, comedy actors should be awarded twice as much as other kinds of actors because it's simple to make people cry, but very, very hard to make them laugh. You need extreme talent and ability to do so. And I'm saying this as a former movie director, artist, and arts expert.

    I laughed so hard during Tropic Thunder I cried. I couldn't catch my breath. I had to pause the video to get myself under control before the next funny thing happened. That ambush scene is cinematic history!

    Tropic Thunder is my favorite movie of all time, but I'd like to see him and Vince Vaughn work together on screen again, something about The Watch has always stuck with me and I can't really tell what it is, which means it's probably just good comedy chemistry

  • @cameronward9443

    best thing about Stiller is that he tries different things. He doesn't just sit in his comfort zone and churn out constant Dodge Ball's or similar. He has huge range as an actor and director and he likes to flex those muscles and explore genres.

    I don’t know why Mitty isn’t rated higher, I love that movie! The only issue I have with it is that once again, the love interest is played down as having no excitement due to being a mother etc..
