Tom Cruise Channeling Andrew Sullivan!?!?!?

I had heard that Tom Cruise‘s cameo as studio executive Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder was particularly comic.  And the box office start did not disappoint.  It was the funniest I had ever seen him.  Watching his performance alone was well worth the price of the ticket.

While I was prepared for his comic turn, I was not prepared for his appearance.  When I first saw him, I thought it was Andrew Sullivan who was making a cameo in the flick.  Cruise appeared not as his normal boyish self, but bearded, balding and, well, bearish.

And the movie, while politically incorrect was pure entertainment.  A few flaws here and there, but definitely worth the fourteen bucks to see it on the big screen — or whatever they’re charging in your town.
