Even Funnier Than The Previews You’ve Been Seeing

Think you’ve hit a rut in life? Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William) can relate. It all started while pimping Minotaur! energy drink out to school kids as a substitute to drugs. Now as an alternative to prison, the film’s two unlikely heroes have joined the sturdy wings mentoring program to serve as (you guessed it ) role models for two kids in need.

The children, played by wild card actor Bobbe J. Thompson (pictured far right) and nerd extraordinaire Christopher Mintz-Plasse (a.k.a McLovin of Superbad), are by far the funniest element of the film and had us laughing out loud from the moment they appeared. In part from sheer slapstick, but mainly because hearing certain lines from kids that young is just plain wrong.

Trust us, the brief cuts shown in trailers are only the tip of this hilarious farce and more than a few quotes are destined to join the public repeat ranks of “You’re my boy blue!” Plus the films feel good message makes it perfectly acceptable for dates. Prepare to laugh your face off.

This Sh** Is Real. It’s Real Funny.

The best thing to happen to you this summer, Tropic Thunder. (Dreamworks)

Today, Ben Stiller’s self directed movie, Tropic Thunder, hits your local theater and may good and well be the funniest movie of 2008.

Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. (playing an Aussie actor, playing a black man), and about a dozen other actors you’ll recognize mock the excess of Hollywood. And what better way to do that than be excessive in of itself. Any movie with Jon Voight, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Lance Bass and Alicia Silverstone playing themselves is destined for greatness not to mention Tom Cruise’s portrayal of a raging lunatic.
