TOM CRUISE - A COMIC COMEBACK IN TROPIC THUNDER

Read More Here:: "This is hard to say. I am a Tom Cruise convert. Yes, this is the same Tom Cruise we recall talking up Scientology, dismissing Brooke Shields's postpartum use of antidepressants, and tsk-tsking Matt Lauer in a Today show interview punctuated by a strung-out appearance courtesy of black circles under his eyes.

But I just got back from a screening of Ben Stiller's very funny movie Tropic Thunder, in which Tom Terrific is the funniest thing. Playing a swaggering, bald movie executive with a razor-quick temper and a four-letter-word vocabulary—you know, the perfect Hollywood suit—Cruise steals the movie from Stiller and co-stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black. By the end of the movie, when Cruise is doing what we'll charitably call a dance, his shirt unbuttoned to reveal a forest of hair and gold chains, all has been forgiven. At least for me."
