18 Oct 08 # Movie Viewed October 16th: Tropic Thunder underpressure

Yesterday, I went to the Parkway Speakeasy in Oakland to see the film Tropic Thunder.

The film had an interesting idea and was funny at times, but it failed in the implementation of the premise. Whenever the best actor in the film is Matthew McConaughey, you know that the movie has a problem.

Maybe a 56? Who really cares? It wasn’t my cup of tea; not altogether horrible, but it caused me to experience displeasure (not the goal of a comedy, BTW).
