Why do people hate this movie?

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2010)

I LOVE this movie! The smaller sub-stories within the main plot make it more interesting and it doesn't force you to concentrate on one thing for too long. Belushi should've had a larger role, as he was hilarious and the scene with Stack singing along to "Dumbo" was priceless. A lot of the time you think you know exactly what's about to happen and the story ends up changing it up on you. I think that the fact that the Japanese decided that Hollywood was the best way to provoke the US into engaging in the war was so funny, as was the scene with them all listening in on Slim Pickens as he "tried" to pass the compass. There are a large number of different personality types, so the probability of a person liking any one character is pretty good. Anyone that doesn't like this movie just need to get the pole out of their.... butt and appreciate some classic comedy. Yeah, it may start out a little slow, but after the scene where Tim Matheson first tries to get with Nancy Allen in a plane it starts to pick up. All in all, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
