Hilarious! A must-see for any potential recruit.

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2004)

Probably the funniest service comedy ever made, stacks up beautifully with such films as "No Time for Sergeants," "Mister Roberts," and Abbott & Costello's riotous "Buck Privates." This is the picture that boosted recruitment for months and made stars out of John Larroquette (sp?) and John Candy. I won't summarize the picture; we've all seen it, some of us over & over & over again.
Look for bravura performances by John Larroquette as Capt. Stillman (this is the role that brought him to the attention of the producers of "Night Court" and gave birth to D.A. Dan Fielding), Warren Oates as Sergeant Hulka ("You don't say 'sir' to me; I'm a sergeant. I work for a living."), and John Candy (his big-screen debut) as Dewey Oxburger. If you're thinking of joining the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines; see this movie first. ..
"That's the fact, Jack!"
