Comically Serious

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2000)

One of Robin William's best films then and now. Though the movie is set during the Vietnam war, that does not tone down the comedy that Williams brings to it. Through it all, his character Cronauer manages to lift the spirits of the men at a time when everyone there thought no one's spirits could be lifted. His irreverent takes at anything from the weather to the war itself is simply hilarious and is Williams at his comical best. A definite must-see for anyone who seen the other serious war films and need one which shows you the lighter side of it.
