There she was just a walking down the street.....singing doo..

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2005)

Stripes is a comedy that kicks off with a bang. We meet John Winger(Bill Murray), a out of luck guy who just lost his girlfriend, house and job all in one day. He decides to join the army. He brings a friend along and this is where the story gets thin. It goes on and on, the two meet these girls and they steal a tank...it's a long plot for a movie that should be about a hour and 15 minutes long. I think if they just showed the guys training and having funny moments, it would be more easier to laugh at the film. In the end, I didn't even laugh for the last 15 minutes of the movie. The beginning is hilarious though. It's a all around good film. John Candy plays OX, the fat friend of everyone. He is the funniest one in the entire film. In the end, Stripes is a good comedy, with funny moments you won't forget. 7/10
