I'm going to click "View Poll Results" in a second. If Meet the Fockers isn't in last place, I burn this place down.

Tropic Thunder is one of the few recent (w/i 20 years) Hollywood comedies that really had me laughing out loud--on numerous occasions. Very clever humor. So many great scenes. It's one I can watch over and over again and still find fresh and funny.

Couldn't agree with this more.

No doubt. Fantastic premise for a film.

Surprising to see Gran Torino doing so well. Coming into this thing I didn't think it was so highly liked.
