Newsday calls the Ben Stiller-directed comedy, "Gory, vulgar and wickedly funny. Easily the summer's best comedy," while Rolling Stone says, "Think of all the ways you can hurt yourself laughing, as in fall down, split your sides, bust a gut, blow your mind. You get it all in Tropic Thunder, a knockout of a comedy that keeps you laughing constantly."

New York Magazine's David Edelstein says, "The Ben Stiller action-film parody Tropic Thunder is all over the map, but it’s worth enduring the botched gags, formula plotting, and even the racism to marvel at the genius of Robert Downey Jr."

The movie's satirical subplot involves a fake movie entitled Simple Jack, in which Ben Stiller's character plays a handicapped man. In some viral marketing, DreamWorks released a fake Simple Jack movie poster, fake preview along with the pretty offensive tag line: "Once upon a time, there was a retard."

Spokesperson for the Special Olympics, Peter Wheeler says: "We are asking people not to go to the movie and hope to bring a consciousness to people about using derogatory words about this population. That will be the start of a nationwide protest. We will continue to be vocal about the destructive effect of this film."

Twenty-two advocate groups plan to protest the film, including the Los Angeles premiere today.

DreamWorks argues that Tropic Thunder is not making fun of the disabled, but rather Hollywood's portrayal of the disabled and the obnoxious, insufferable actors who play them.

A DreamWorks rep said that they will not make any cuts to the film and added, "Tropic Thunder is an R-rated comedy that satirizes Hollywood and its excesses, and makes its point by featuring inappropriate and over-the top characters in ridiculous situations. The film is in no way meant to disparage or harm the image of individuals with disabilities."
