warm and funny movie, would have been better with a little less firework

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2001)

kelly's heroes is a smart and extremely funny movie, the highlight being the anachronistic hippy oddball.
(*** spoilers ahead ***) the movie about pvt. kelly rounding up men to go hunt for gold behind the enemy lines is hilariously told, each character has his own quirks and they are well brought out, and the only tedious part is when the focus is on the war itself. having said that the climax with the attack on the german held town is quite well made and oddball's scene after their tank breaks down is out of the world.
on the whole a well told mildly funny movie that would have been better with a little less violence. smartly told movie, quite funny. wonderful for a change.
a funny 7!
