LA Premiere of "Tropic Thunder"

August 15, 2008

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNI - Katie Holmes towers over husband Tom Cruise at the Los Angeles Premiere of "Tropic Thunder" held at the Mann Village Theater. The spoof film, which stars and is directed by Ben Stiller, has sparked outrage amongst disability rights campaigners who say it carries a negative portrayal of people with intellectual disabilites. It is Stiller's character, Simple Jack, who is apparently repeatedly refered to as a "retard" in the film, which has caused the most upset. Other stars in the video are Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Jodie Foster, Maria Menounos, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Downey Jr and wife Susan. Monday, August 11, 2008.
