One of my all time favorites.

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 1999)

I first saw this movie several years ago and liked it then. Since, I've obtained a copy and have watched it many times since. It's definitely one of my favorates. Here are a few reasons why.
First of all, The story line is much better than the TV series could ever hope to be. It really does show the insanity of war, especially a war like the Korean war of the early 1950's. A war that isn't particularly popular compared to the other "more recent" wars (WW I,WW II, Vietnam et-al).
The characters, Hawkeye Pierce, Major Hotlips Hullihan and Radar etc are what make this movie such a delight.
One of the all time classic scenes from this movie that always gets me is when Major Hullihan goes to take a shower... We all know what happens next. I always anticipate it w/ glee since it's so hilarious. The second part is when Hotlips and Sergent Burns make out in her hut and it gets broadcast all over the camp as well as her reaction the next morning (very jumpy).
But to suffice it to say, the script is very well written and the characters seem to have some depth to them and all are well acted. the movie is well worth adding to your video collection for you'll want to see it again and again...
