Was Bill Murray Ever Funny?

Rating: 2/10 (7 December 2019)

If the first question is: was Bill Murray ever funny, then the second question has to be: has he ever starred in a movie in which he didn't molest a woman into submission. His wooing process always consists of badgering a woman until she yields and realizes he's the man for her.
In this movie it was particularly absurd. At first sight of the attractive and softly assertive female MP officer I knew what her eventual role would be. All professionalism and protocol went out the window under the hypnotic charm (read pestering bordering on sexual assault) of Bill Murray. It would be bearable if it were funny or cute but it was neither.
Absurdity was par for the course for this witless depiction of the Army. Bill Murray did his best impression of class clown which was more suited for a high school movie than a movie about adults in the Army. The rest of the actors may as well had been stage props because that's all they really amounted to.
If rampant idiocy and slapstick humor is your bag, then enjoy.
