Vastly over rated Bill Murray vehicle

Rating: 3/10 (16 October 2003)

You can't help but like Bill Murray. He's proved time and time again what a funny man he can be, even in average films like this  he still manages to raise a chuckle or two.
With Ghostbusters stars Murray and Harold Ramis, and the director of Ghostbusters, Ivan Reitman, I must admit I expected a hell of a lot more though than just a couple of chuckles.
It centres around Murray and Ramis as 2 losers who join the army after they find themselves totally disillusioned with their day to day lives. But things don't go as planned as they find such discipline hard to cope with, mainly due to a seasoned drill sergeant (excellently played by Warren Oates) and the attraction of 2 female MP's (Sean Young and PJ Soles)
Passes the time, but is overlong and the longer it goes on the more ridiculous it becomes.
Another point  the editor should be shot for this as the Boom mic is in shot in no less than 10 occasions, at first it was funny, but lets be honest with it happening time and time again - that's just pretty shabby.
