That says it all.
looks average by Basehead	Jul 8th, 2008 11:26:12 AM
i don't know about this one, i have a feeling it's is going to take a big nose dive. there is nothing in this trailer that makes me wanna go see it.
Fourth! by TheBoManKicksAssAndTakesBlame	Jul 8th, 2008 11:28:54 AM
Fourth is always better than first.
red band was better by Jackie Boy	Jul 8th, 2008 11:28:55 AM
but it still looks hilarious.
It does look good by Aeghast	Jul 8th, 2008 11:32:17 AM
..except for every second Black and Stiller are on screen.. boy do they stink.. and americans love them.. it beats me.. Anyway, Downey Jr is the only good thing about this trailer.. and movie altogether
Blue Brothers by Jawa 007	Jul 8th, 2008 11:32:44 AM

Bloody Hell by TomHooligan	Jul 8th, 2008 11:35:36 AM
Comedy Movie of the year for definate. The Robert Downey Jr revival just keeps getting better and better
This will the be the comedy of the summer by spectrebeeyatch	Jul 8th, 2008 11:43:25 AM
The trailer actually makes me laugh unlike most comedy trailers. I'm totally checking this one out.
Will I see this?? by TheJake	Jul 8th, 2008 11:46:41 AM
Affirmative.

This is looking like a good summer for R rated comedies by Jackie Boy	Jul 8th, 2008 11:59:02 AM
I'm planning on seeing Step Brothers, Pineapple Express, and Tropic Thunder in theatres, which seems almost absurd to me that so many promising looking comedies are being released so close to one another.
Restricted area by TheBigLebowsky	Jul 8th, 2008 11:59:29 AM
You can also see a "red band" trailer when you go to the restricted area. Not more funny than the international one, but you can understand a couple more jokes from the international trailer...
Wasn't this a Hulk Hogan movie? by rev_skarekroe	Jul 8th, 2008 12:00:14 PM
No, I'm sorry. That was Thunder In Paradise.
I'm looking forward to the summer comedies too by CherryValance	Jul 8th, 2008 12:05:32 PM
I've enjoyed the comedies I've seen so far this year and it's funny because for the longest time I didn't even bother seeing comedies in the theater. I used to save those for video. But yeah, this one I'm really looking forward to. The trailers are surprisingly hilarious.
Nice!!! by Broseph	Jul 8th, 2008 12:05:34 PM
this and pineapple express in august.definitely have a bowl of weedies before my veiwing
Ben Stillers best work since Zoolander! by Baron Karza	Jul 8th, 2008 12:12:57 PM
CASH GRAB!
I get to see this tomorrow by Jubba	Jul 8th, 2008 12:17:09 PM

Comedy of Summer by frongbak	Jul 8th, 2008 12:19:49 PM
It will be. Jack Black will be in the top 2 in fact with this and Kung Fu Panda, all you haters can eat a dick. Tenacious D rules
More details about tomorrow's screening... by Bobo_Vision	Jul 8th, 2008 12:21:29 PM
It's at the AMC Empire 25 on 234 West 42nd Street in Manhattan from 8 to 10 pm. Its a special screening for college students, so even if you don't get an RSVP, if you show up early enough and have your valid college ID, I'm pretty sure they'll let you in because its first come first serve.
It seems like a more violent "Three Amigos!" by Tacom	Jul 8th, 2008 12:23:38 PM
But I'll still see it!
Word is... by frongbak	Jul 8th, 2008 12:23:41 PM
There is a big White Sale at Towel World, he he he
Don't Forget by frongbak	Jul 8th, 2008 12:27:59 PM
Steve Coogan, very funny non-American. Although he does seem to be popping up in alot of stuff lately, some of questionable quality but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Actually... by Bobo_Vision	Jul 8th, 2008 12:31:18 PM
..scratch that last thing I said, you need an RSVP, hehe, okay, buh bye.
Horseshit!! by NYC	Jul 8th, 2008 12:34:15 PM
Man, does that movie look like garbage. Not a single twinge of humor-at all! jack black, ben stiller, will farrell, owen wilson...all of these pathetic hacks make jerry lewis look like a comedic god. Yet, millions of mindless retards will pay actual money to see it. Baffling.
NYC by frongbak	Jul 8th, 2008 12:41:49 PM
You are full of Horseshit, there are plenty of quality performances from Jack Black, school of rock, Ben Stiller, Flirting with Disaster, Meet the Fockers, Will Farrell, Old School, Anchorman, and Owen Wilson, Bottle Rocket and Darjeeling Limited, the key is if they get a decent script, role, and director to guide them. It sucks that mindless jerk-offs from the Studio Execs down to the paying public don't distinguish the crap from the quality but to write all these guys off as hacks doesn't solve anything and makes you look as ignorant as the fools who pay to see White Girls.
i will submit a review tomorrow by Jubba	Jul 8th, 2008 12:43:48 PM
since i've had a few published on here before. i'm in toronto, not NYC...hoping it'll be a good time :)
I'm also seeing it tomorrow, yeah! by iamnicksaicnsn	Jul 8th, 2008 12:46:04 PM
Can't wait!
Ben Stiller by DennisMM	Jul 8th, 2008 12:46:41 PM
He's got a lot of talent. He's chosen to squander it on cheap gags and sentimentality. Rent the DVDs of "The Ben Stiller Show" from the mid-'90s and watch comic brilliance bubbling. Too bad he turned off the burner.
Stiller was carrying baby polar bears not baby humans by U-Stu.com	Jul 8th, 2008 12:54:39 PM
In the US version of the trailer when it says "The Action Guy", he's carrying two baby polar bears but in the international version he's carrying two human babies. Can you not carry both guns and human babies in the US trailer? I think the baby polar bears are funnier even if it is censoring the real thing.
Needs more Rambo by Itto Ogami loses Daigoro	Jul 8th, 2008 12:55:58 PM
firing the jeep mounted .50 caliber at this whole cast.
also... by U-Stu.com	Jul 8th, 2008 01:00:34 PM
The framing, background, and lighting seem to vary slightly but at the same time appears to be the same shot in both versions. Stiller is looking at the camera as it zooms in in one but not the other etc. Maybe in the movie there is a joke of them (the production crew IN the movie) shooting the same shot over and over with him carrying different things...
PiXaRs A Bugs LIfe by HewligansHaircut	Jul 8th, 2008 01:34:34 PM
Gotta say, this looks pretty funny. But yes, it is just The 3 Amigos meets A Bugs life... in a jungle - but hey, that's not a bad thing...
Watchmen trailer before Dark Knight???! by Johnno	Jul 8th, 2008 01:39:10 PM
Sorry to throw you all off your discussion of Tropic Thunder which looks awesome... But if you didn't think the Dark Knight could get even more awesome, it probably just did! http://tinyurl.com/6yw7yj
ben stiller by dingus khan	Jul 8th, 2008 02:26:34 PM
so, it looks like we won't be seeing ben stiller's "i'm inept and mensch-y" character in this one. (fockers, parents, polly) he opted, instead, for his "i'm over the top and aggressive" (dodgeball, mystery men) sigh ben stiller sucks.
The Three Amigos... by plotpoint	Jul 8th, 2008 02:37:59 PM
Is it just me, or is this not a remake of the Three Amigos. Substitute the jungle for Mexico and I'm sure some of the same plotpoints and jokes....
yeah plotpoint is exactly right by ArcadianDS	Jul 8th, 2008 02:48:24 PM
the red band trailer has a turtle that wishes Jack Black good night. Also Im pretty sure I saw a tin of lip balm on Ben Stiller's belt.
Yeah plotpoint by kungfuhustler84	Jul 8th, 2008 03:00:32 PM
except the Three Amigos was not that funny, and the characters here are a lot more varied
Nooneimportant: Two Face... by Pawprint	Jul 8th, 2008 03:12:00 PM
Looks more or less as he does in that pre-production Photoshop image. It looks good, but given that Nolan is going for 'reality-based', there's a bit too much meat and tendon on display I think.
Great trailer. by mrfan	Jul 8th, 2008 03:15:36 PM
Loved that last scene with the little kid stabbing Stiller.
Noticed a few differences... by C00L DUD3	Jul 8th, 2008 04:00:20 PM
Between this intl trailer, vs. the most recent redband... Still funny as $hit, tho...that kid-stabbing scene is STILL classic...especially with the wilhelm-scream...haha
Galaxy Quest is brilliant by NoodlesHahn	Jul 8th, 2008 05:06:58 PM
and a lot better than Three Amigos and looks a lot better than this but RDJ is always worth checking out.
this will make $18 million its first weekend by Magic Rat	Jul 8th, 2008 05:25:22 PM
and drop like a stone after that. It could be big on DVD though. Just an impression I'm getting.
I HATEHATEHATE Web Sites That... by DirkBelig	Jul 8th, 2008 06:09:05 PM
...highjack your browser as if you were hoping to have it expanded all the way to full-screen! If they need a full screen, spawn a new fraking window, morons!
i'll pity fuck it by chipps	Jul 8th, 2008 07:39:37 PM
jr looks good. and jerry lewis is a comedic god
I like Stiller's inept and mensch-y thing by slugbat	Jul 8th, 2008 07:57:29 PM
I may indeed be retarded, but I really enjoyed Heartbreak Kid, Along Came Polly, and Meet the Parents. Sometimes his embarrassment schtick hits too close to home, causing sack shriveling, asshole puckering uncomfortability, but it usually has me in tears laughing. So, that settles it, I'm fukt in the head.
Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Jul 8th, 2008 08:04:20 PM
Damn You Michael Bay
Is that Robert Downey playing Russell Crowe playing a black guy? by martinqfalzone	Jul 8th, 2008 08:10:44 PM
I THOUGHT ROBERT GOT OFF THE SHIT
38 million first weekend, 21 the second, 14 the 3rd, 8 the 4th.. by Stormwatcher	Jul 8th, 2008 09:44:19 PM
will make 121 total take.
This was really cool.. by Cotton McKnight	Jul 8th, 2008 10:26:56 PM
when it was Galaxy Quest and The Three Amigos.
This was a syndicated Hulk Hogan show. Right? by Uncle Stan	Jul 8th, 2008 11:38:59 PM

I think it looks PRETTY HOT! by YouAreAllMyBastardChildren	Jul 9th, 2008 12:26:42 AM
Oh my! My little bastard babies, I have a laughing stitch in my side!
It has Buzz! by RicardoMontalban	Jul 9th, 2008 05:21:41 PM
I can't wait to see it. Hey fellow movie geeks check out this awesome new blog at thebitterproducer.blogspot.com
Trailer looks "cool"? by thegreatwhatzit	Jul 9th, 2008 07:39:41 PM
Looks like another (generic) Ben Stiller movie to me. And the jokes (white guy cosmetically transforms into a "brother") look absolutely antiquated. I'd rather watch a Sharon Stone movie (not! That's really reaching...).
Wait...more Will Ferrell? And NYC---! by thegreatwhatzit	Jul 9th, 2008 07:45:56 PM
Overexposure eventually handicapped the careers of Abbott and Costello. Gauguing the commercial/critical failure of his past film, Ferrell is deservedly feeling the contempt. He's not funny...it's the same old shtick. NYC already said it quite eloquently ("all of these pathetic hacks make jerry lewis look like a comedic god."). Amen.
I saw Tropic Thunder tonight by Jubba	Jul 10th, 2008 12:41:00 AM
I sent my review to the guys here at AICN, hopefully they can print it....if not, maybe it'll end up in here...the movie was amazing - one of the funniest movies i've personally ever seen.
avoid the trailers, they will ruin some funny parts by Jubba	Jul 10th, 2008 12:42:18 AM
you have to understand why the kid is stabbing him...it's such a great payoff from a drawn-out setup in the movie
