Brilliant!!!

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 1999)

A beautifully executed, beautifully choreographed, big budget period-piece special-effects laden war comedy. Unfortunately, audiences don't particularly like big budget period-piece special-effects laden war comedies, so it bombed at the box office. The USO Ballroom Dance/Brawl is one of the best action sequences Spielberg's ever put on film. And John Williams' score is amazing. But the ONLY WAY to watch this movie is in letterbox format. It completely loses its charm in pan-and-scan.
