I Thought it was Offensive Trash

Rating: 2/10 (4 May 2010)

I always liked MASH the television series but this movie was a huge disappointment and should never have been made. I suspect that some of the support it gets is due to followers who were disappointed about MASH being stopped as a series and were happy to see the *idea* come back to life. Unfortunately the characters in the movie had no class whatsoever. In the original series, there was at least a semblance of respect for those that chose to be religious or military, and while they might be teased a bit, they were part of the gang nonetheless. This accident of a movie was all about offending anything or anyone suggesting class or good order...but in as unintelligent of a way as possible. Hawkeye was portrayed to be one of the shallowest knaves I ever saw in film. As a disappointment, all the cleverness of Regular MASH is gone. There was not a single funny moment in the film if you don't like to laugh at people being degraded. Gone were all the clever one liners and henways we loved in the series. MASH is obviously dead.
