Lowe-Wiswell Family Blog

These are my first impressions as the credits are still rolling:

While I thought it started a bit slow, I was sold as soon as the director made his dramatic exit. Filled with Hollywood conventions that they simultaneously use and parody, you could play a drinking game every time somebody recognizes a shot or moment lifted directly from another movie.

While this movie probably doesn’t represent the best of each actor’s work, especially Jack Black, I found most of the cast (even Ben Stiller!) quite funny. The package worked, and I was entertained. That’s all I ask anymore.

You know, with a 9 month old baby and living so far away from free babysitters family, Mandy and I don’t get to go see many movies. We’ve wanted to see Tropic Thunder for quite a while, and our Netflix is down for a few months, so we went out and used one of those rental vending machine thingies.

Impressions will come in a new post.
