در اینجا نمونه هایی از نقدها رو داریم:
a fantastically vile and abusive producer named Les Grossman. Buried under layers of latex and padding, Cruise is almost unrecognizable, and this anonymity seems to have liberated him — he dives into the character's bellowing, obscene tirades with ferocious abandon. It's a performance unlike any he's given before, and you can almost see the screen smoking after each of his foul harangues.
Kurt Loder, MTV
Cruise's paunchy studio exec is easily the funniest role of his fairly straight-faced career. Whether barking outlandish orders or gyrating ridiculously, Cruise's bald-pated, hairy-knuckled movie mogul is outrageously amusing. His boyishly eager businessman from Risky Business has grown into a cynical jerk of a studio chief — but he has updated his dance moves. Though it can't be an easy feat to go up against such comedic powerhouses as Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black or Ben Stiller, Cruise proves a formidable co-conspirator in this send-up of Hollywood egos

Hands down the most noxious character in “Tropic Thunder” is Les Grossman, the producer of the movie-within-a-movie, who’s played by an almost unrecognizable Tom Cruise under a thick scum of makeup and latex. Heavily and heavy-handedly coded as Jewish, the character is murderous, repellent and fascinating, a grotesque from his swollen fingers to the heavy gold dollar sign nestled on his yeti-furred chest.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Cruise and particularly Downey are something to behold: They give this Thunder its lightning.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Cruise is relentless.
He helps turns Tropic Thunder into a vicious send-up of Hollywood itself.
Cruise does not just bite the hand that feeds him, he rips it off and shoves it down the throat of every studio exec and film producer who has done him wrong.
Then Cruise ends the movie with a little shuffle dance, the logical evolution of the moves a young Cruise made in Risky Business, the movie that turned him into a star.
Bruce Kirkland, Sun Media
Tom Cruise literally steals every scene he is in (and there are many) as the foul-mouthed financier Les Grossman. Readily recognizable in a hairy fat suit, he proves more than adept at high concept comedy.

Cruise may be the funniest thing in the movie
Rick Heldenfels, Akron Beacon Journal
As for Mr. Cruise, he's still the best mover and shaker in Hollywood.
Tom Charity, CNN
Mr. Cruise's portrayal of a maniacal executive is particularly brutal; never before has a raging sociopath concerned with making money and debasing his sycophantic underlings been funnier.

...it's a good thing that Les Grossman isn't his producer in real life. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you probably know by now that Tom Cruise shows up in "Tropic Thunder" as the aforementioned Grossman, the war movie's bullying, foulmouthed producer. Cruise's bulky, fur-covered forearms and thick, meaty hands are prosthetics, but they look so convincing they're almost more horrifying than they are funny. Cruise gave his finest performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia," but this one is a close second. Cruise is loose here -- no, make that wholly unhinged -- in a way he has never been before.

...there are two wonderfully comic jobs in the movie -- and both come from "serious" actors.
The first is courtesy of Cruise who -- outfitted in a padded belly, fake chest hair and bald cap -- plays the defiantly crude studio head. Luxuriating in his own foul-mouthed aggressiveness, bumping and grinding to ear-bleeding rap, he's a gleeful monster -- and Cruise's best performance "Magnolia."
Steven Whitty, The Star Ledger
Finally, two words: Tom Cruise. I won't spill the beans on his propulsive, demonic and garbage-mouthed little part, but Tropic Thunder confirms my long-held suspicion that he's a character actor trapped in a leading man's body. Other than that, I'll only say it belongs on a double bill with Risky Business. When you see it, you'll know why.

Flashes of brilliance from Tom Cruise as the pudgy, balding studio head
Katherine Monk, Ottawa Citizen
Best of all, a surprise appearance by an almost unrecognizable major star is side-splittingly funny. Word has gotten out in some circles about who and what the role involves. Sorry, you'll get no more here, other than the assurance that it's a side of this particular actor you've never seen before.
Bill Goodykoontz - Gannett News Service
To top everything off, Tom Cruise, arguably the funniest part of "Tropic Thunder" is an over-the-top profane megalomaniac studio head Les Grossman.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Tom Cruise's arrival onscreen has already — rightly — become legend. His nasty-funny turn is as disturbing for its gleeful depiction of power as the actor's role in "Magnolia." Hirsute and balding, he's nearly unrecognizable.
