What "Animal House"did for college,this film does for the Army.Billy Murry,John Candy,Harold Ramis and MANY more make this one of my favorite comedies of all time.My only issue was the ease they penetrate Czechoslovakia (cold war days)Small issue for a BIG bunch of laughs,thus only 1/2 star off.Lines like"Where is your drill sergeant, men?Blown up,sir!"Gotta love it.Released in 1981 its a too short 108 minutes.IMDB summary below and trailer URL after pixs.
Thanks to a run of bad luck and go-nowhere jobs, John convinces Russell to join the army so they can get in shape, likening it to a health spa. Once in boot camp, wiseguy John tangles with his by-the-book Sgt. and becomes the unofficial leader for his platoon, made up mostly of other misfits and assorted losers. After somehow making it through graduation, they are given a special assignment but, thanks to John's romantic interest in a pretty MPO, the other men wind up behind the Iron Curtain until John, Russell, their dates and Sgt. Hulka make a daring rescue attempt in explosive style. Written by Warlock <asstgpa@crimjust.ccj.scarolina.edu>
