Tropical Thunder...in español!

Last night I got out of the IMM/America bubble :) and met up with another fellow American girl Tiffany (not a missionary, she married a Spaniard). We went to the mall for an hour or so then her husband and cousin picked us up and we went to the cine. First we ate at a Doner Kebob, a turkish/middle eastern restaurant--it's good, because the movie didn't start until 10. Anyways, another friend came with too, so the 5 of us went to see Ben Stiller's movie Tropical Thunder. Yes, it was in spanish, so it was not as funny as it would've been with the regular actors voices, because that's always one of the things that make movies funny! And, no I did not understand much of it. However, since it was an action movie, you don't really need to know much of what is said to get the point. I could tell some bad words were being said. It was kinda a gross movie at times too. But, Tom Cruise was in it, and I didn't know it was him until my friends figured it out. Deborah, said she knew his voice sounded familiar, because they always use the some dubbed voice in Spanish for actors in movies. They did some good special makeup and making him fatter in the movie, it was pretty funny to see him like that! And Matthew MC, was in it....he's always so good looking. He had nice curls in this movie, which I am biased about! So, Tiffany and I told our friends that it would've been better in original voice. The two Spaniards and one Romanian didn't like it. Oh well, I guess some humor only Americans can appreciate....or something.
