Bill Murray was heading toward a career peak on the back of comedies such as this one from 1981, the second film in his ongoing collaboration with director Ivan Reitman (the two went on to make Ghostbusters). Murray plays a chronic loser who joins the army and fails to find a fan for his ironic sensibilities in his by-the-book sergeant (Warren Oates). When push comes to shove, however, the smirking hero takes charge of his ragtag unit and turns them into fighting machines, albeit to the rhythm of hit songs by Manfred Mann and Sly Stone. The film is occasionally funny, but it mostly plays like any one of a dozen underachieving comedies featuring players from Saturday Night Live and SCTV. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, 13 Sep 2006
By M. Jones "mikejones76uk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This has a great cast!! including John Candy :) I was reading reviews on Amazon.com, which were mostly great but I found it funny when a very few people slated this film with 1 star? can you belive these guys? one was an army guy saying it was nothing like real army training? did he ever work out this is a comedy? and another guy says this film is stupid? and is bad for taking the mick out of the us army? who are these guys taking affence at a classic funny film? Anyway, this is fun from start to finish, loads of wise cracks, charm and great moments, worth buying :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic 80's Comedy, 12 Mar 2009
By P. Sparrow "Tweety" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bill Murray at his best playing a no hoper who joins the Army to get into shape. A funny 80's comedy, with Harold Ramis as a co-star, a feel good comedy with a romantic twist and a happy ending.
