Robin William's best effort.

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2012)

Robin Williams is absolutely manic and lovable in his turn here as the irreverent disc jockey who lands in Saigon in the late 60s. he does not want to toe the official line, that the radio be a somber voice of the US, but goes all out with his mimicries and obscenities. this is among his best roles, right up there with "good will hunting", "awakenings"," dead poet's society" etc. the dialogues are hilarious and the one liners will make woody Allen proud. this terrific entertainer was directed by Barry Levinson who was in the purple patch of his career, what with the Oscar winning "rain man" to follow the next year. this was a blockbuster when it was released earning close to $130 million dollars. if you are looking for some great acting and fun times, check this out. you won't be disappointed.
