Faith perspectives on “Tropic Thunder”
Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr in “Tropic Thunder”
Judging from some of the latest critics’ reviews, lots of folks think the new comedy “Tropic Thunder” is really funny.
Other people have said the movie is offensive, particularly because of its depiction of people with disabilities and its use of the “R word” — retard. The film has been targeted by several groups like Special Olympics for this very reason.
What do people of faith think about the film starring Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.?
I wondered as much myself.

I haven’t gone to see the film and don’t know if I will.
I must tell you that Ben Stiller is my favorite comedian, so I think I do want to see the movie eventually.
