On the night of the "Tropic Thunder" release, I had read up on some reviews and was anticipating an incredible performance from Tom Cruise. All the critics raved more about his cameo than they did about the star performances of Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller and Jack Black. I left the theater wondering if I had missed a huge chunk of the film where Cruise stole the show. Sure, seeing the sexy star in a bald cap and fat suit adds some humor and his ridiculous gangsta dance at the end cracked some laughs; but besides that, his role basically consisted of yelling at co-stars and screaming egotistical rants. It's not like Cruise acting crazy is anything new.
