http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/07/28/mega-review-pineapple-express-vs-tropic-thunder/
“Since the action/comedy tag is put on both Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder, a comparison is undoubtedly necessary. Where the action scenes sometimes didn't work for me in Pineapple, they succeeded in Thunder. From numerous hilarious cameos to solid acting, Tropic Thunder is a great film from start to finish. Pineapple Express is great as well, but it is exactly what you'd expect from Apatow and company. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but Thunder exceeds all expectations; I honestly didn't thing it would be that funny.”

IMDb user posts a favorable review – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/board/flat/113126132
“The entire theater was on the floor. Hands down the funniest movie I've seen in a loooooooong time.”
“They clapped really loud when it ended, and even a few times during the movie because it was just so damn hilarious. Everybody in the theater had a really fantastic time.”
“Yeah it does kind of come down to RDJ and Cruise. Cruise was so good that he actually earned a bit of my respect back.”
