Better Than Robert Downey Jr. In ‘Tropic Thunder’

Yeah, that’s right. If you’re going to give someone a Best Supporting nod in the mostly-Oscar-unworthy, “Tropic Thunder”, give it Tom Cruise as the slimeball mega-film producer Les Grossman (better yet, give it to no one, but if you’re going to…). Robert Downey Jr. just wasn’t that good (or that funny).

Tom Cruise’s final dance to Ludacris’ “Get back” in ‘Thunder’ is now online. He was the best part of that movie (Bill Hader was pretty great too).
