Movies like Tropic Thunder

Team America: World Police, with its over-the-top puppetry and biting satire of political and action movie cliches, strikes a similar chord to Tropic Thunder's humorous critique of Hollywood and the movie-making process.

Zoolander, also directed by and starring Ben Stiller, shares the same satirical edge as Tropic Thunder, lampooning the fashion industry with its outlandish characters and plot. Audiences who appreciate Stiller's brand of comedy will find much to enjoy here.

British cinema's Hot Fuzz offers a hilarious take on action movie tropes through the lens of a British cop transferred to a small town, much like Tropic Thunder's send-up of war films and actors' egos. This film's clever writing and attention to genre detail make it a great follow-up.

The Other Guys is another comedy that plays with the conventions of the action genre, featuring two mismatched police officers who stumble into a big case. If the absurdity and satire of Hollywood action films drew you to Tropic Thunder, this film's clever humor and spirited performances will not disappoint.

This Is the End's blend of celebrity self-parody and apocalyptic comedy echoes Tropic Thunder's meta-commentary on the film industry, with its ensemble cast of actors playing heightened versions of themselves trapped together during the end times.

Pineapple Express mashes up stoner comedy with action-packed sequences, a combo that resonates with fans of Tropic Thunder's offbeat humor and high-adrenaline moments. While embarking on a wild journey, the characters inadvertently become part of a larger plot, adding to the chaos and laughs.

MacGruber parodies the action hero archetype in an overblown and raunchy manner, inviting audiences who enjoy the mockery of genre tropes in Tropic Thunder to enjoy yet another film packed with ridiculous gags and intentionally cliched scenarios.
