Had a Fun Time!

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2012)

I had a really fun time watching this clever Bill Murray film. It did not win awards, but this film is not meant to. It is just a fun film that pokes fun at the Army and where you can laugh until your side hurts too much.
This is about John Winger who decides to join the military because he feels like he has nothing more to do with his current lifestyle. He drags his friend to join the military and they plan to show the military what it is like to have a good time.
When this film was released in 1981, the cast was unknown with the exception of Bill Murray. Murray is really funny in this movie and this would be film that led him and Harold Ramis to be together in Ghostbusters. The whole cast was just great especially the late Warren Oates as the drill sergeant.
Overall, this film met my expectations. I was expecting to have a fun time with his film and I did. I rate this film 8/10.
