David Ansen of Newsweek approved of the trailers, writing "Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie of the summer—so funny, in fact, that you start laughing before the film itself has begun."
David Ansen iz Newsweeka pohvalio je foršpane, napisavši "Tropska grmljavina je najsmješniji film ljeta - tako smiješan, zapravo, da se počnete smijati prije nego što je film uopće počeo."
