Tropic Thunder

Screen Fever Score: 8/10

Ben Stiller gets back behind the camera with hilarious results, guiding himself, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr as three egocentric actors who stumble into a real-life conflict while filming Tropic Thunder, the 'greatest war film ever'. It's thrilling to see big budget production values on what is essentially a very silly film, and Stiller takes every opportunity going to poke fun at the movie industry, most effectively with Downey Jr's character, the jaw-droppingly self-involved Kirk Lazarus. It's not a perfect film, but it is a very funny one.

Pineapple Express

Screen Fever Score: 6/10

Seth Rogen and James Franco star in this odd mix of stoner comedy and 80s action thriller from producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Superbad). While it's got some very funny moments and a great performance from Franco, it's all over the place in terms of tone and storytelling, so the end result is less than the sum of its parts.
