Bill Murray's Breakout

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2003)

This was probably one of the funniest films I have ever seen. Bill Murray is perfect as the the total goof off and Harold Ramis is excellent as his buddy Russell that gets roped into John's crazy idea to join the army. To me, this was two separate films. The first part showed how the boys managed to make it through boot camp despite being a platoon of screw ups, the funniest of which is John Candy in a great performance as the fat, but lovable Ox. The second part showed how they wound up being heroes as they take on the Soviets. Another great However, viewing this is somewhat sad due to the fact that Warren Oates died after making this. This film is definitely a screwball classic.
