Classic Bill Murray comedy

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2005)

Stripes was released during the time when Bill Murray was starting to make more movies. He had already made the hilarious Caddy Shack, then Stripes, after that is GhostBusters, and then Ground Hog's Day. Stripes is a classic. Some of the humor may seem dated, but I saw this when I was 15 and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The story centers around two buddies who decide to join the army to improve their rundown life style. While in the service, they constantly get into trouble with their strict drill sergeant, Sgt. Hulka. In fact, every time something goes wrong, Sgt. Hulka is right in the center of it.
The film also features John Candy, and Sean Young back in her 'Blade Runner' era. As I've said before, this may seem kind of dated, but it is enjoyable, so I would recommend this to any Bill Murray fan or anybody who wants to see a funny movie.
