I can sort of understand why people didn't like it, but at the same time, I can sort of not understand why people didn't like it

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2008)

When I heard about the flak that this movie received for being so bad, I didn't quite know what to make of it. But having heard that Spielberg made it, I wanted to see for myself. Surely, it's not his best, but it's certainly not his worst. I thought it was immensely funny and really had good messages about prejudice. I also thought that John Belushi was incredible as Wild Bill Kelso. Another scene that I like was were Dan Aykroyd put a pair of nylons over his head and put two oranges inside and over his eyes, and he describes it as: "I'm a bug!" Incredibly funny.
But all in all, if you like this type of film, then certainly see it. But, if you don't and you're just one of those people who's a little too defensive over WWII, then don't see it.
