Tropic Thunder

Introduced this to our kids last night. They really like Tom Cruise, Jack Black, RDJ, even Brandon T. Jackson (they actually really like those Percy Jackson films). I suppose I had forgotten about how much sexual and drug innuendo there was in this. Oops. We were kind of just looking for an action comedy. They’re kind of used to it all by now though. Still a really funny watch. I still think the funniest part is when Jay Baruchel is droning on about the Blu-ray vs HDDVD war, and RDJ turns around and says angrily “You were talking to me that whole time!”
