Hell, I may be the only one to say this, but I actually liked Tropic Thunder more. It wasn't much of a movie, either, but it had more funny stuff in it. Especially with the way Downey, Jr played an old black man.

After having friends that had seen the movie, I was warned that it took about 40-45 minutes before it actually got good. Sure enough, it was right around 43 minutes when they went to Red's house, and that's when the movie took off.
I agree that the first half of the movie was a waste, but the second half was solid. To me, Tropic Thunder was a huge disappointment, and even though I enjoyed Downey Jr., I can honestly say that I laughed harder during that first scene at Red's house than I did at any point during Tropic Thunder.
