Unfortunately, for the most part, the filmmakers seem hell-bent on eliding fascinating local detail in order to keep their rickety roller-coaster plot on track.Earn sand dollars to decorate unique islands along the way and unlock an original storyline featuring everyone's favorite monkey, mermaids, pirates, and a few new friends.

The gorgeous Costa Rican setting and the percolating salsa score (by Walter Flores) promise more site-specific interest than the film delivers. Solange's intrusive voice-over is too clever by half.

Performances are adequate, though Owen Wilson imitator Ryan Barton-Grimley is a standout, and the lovely Michelle Jones makes would-be femme fatale Solange a more interesting character than the writing deserves. Screenwriter Livia Linden and her co-director, Percy Angress, get by mostly on tone (nicely sardonic) and apparent unbridled enthusiasm. Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), pampered action superstar, sets out for Southeast Asia to take part in the biggest, most-expensive war movie produced, but soon after filming begins, he and his co-stars, Oscar-winner Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), comic Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black) and the rest of the. But it's not as though anything else going on in the movie makes much sense.

The action scene in question, in which one character (or rather, a poorly constructed dummy meant to represent the character) hangs, for what seems an eternity, from a flying helicopter, is just the sort of thing that low-budget thriller makers need to write out of their scripts.

TropiX is a rough-hewn little indie, with a few appealing performances and some clever dialogue helping to compensate for sloppy plotting, one embarrassingly bare-bones action set piece, and the fact that the filmmakers don't have much to say.
