not scary, not funny!

Rating: 3/10 (5 May 2001)

I am not averse to mixing comedy and horror, but if the individual aspects themselves are worthless, how can you expect the aggregate to magically gain some substance? Impossible, just ask your local symbolic logicist.

Simply watch the first five minutes and you will realize that the horror department is bankrupt, comedy must come to the rescue.

With corny comedy, there's that which is funny because it is so absurd or so obvious that the mellowed air of the laid back film promotes laughter. Army's brand of corny comedy was more of a "it's funny because it's stupid" humor. If this is your type of humor go for it, but for me, 'Army' is a 'Princess Bride' without the dialogue and a 'Naked Gun' without the jokes. Now that is funny, think of watching 'Naked Gun' without the jokes. It's actually not, and never again shall I.
