Certainly better than "Private Benjamin".....

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2001)

....but that's not really much of a compliment. It does provide a more accurate (or at least more convincing) portrayal of the Army life (even though it's all done strictly for comic purposes), and it has some very funny moments (the basketball-through-the-window-glass gag had me laughing out loud), but eventually it runs out of steam and becomes (oh boy!) an action movie. Great cast, though, with enough on-target one-liners for Bill Murray and an especially appealing performance by the 22-year-old Sean Young. (**1/2)
