Sometimes its good to look back.Released in 1987 and running 121 minutes,its time to re-view a movie that although much of the humor IS dated,the idea it sends is NOT.Thus 1 star off for the dated humor and THAT war no one wants to recall. The cast is OUTSTANDING ,but its a tour de force for Robin Williams.That alone is reason to see this film.However what is more important is no matter how we wish to ignore it,todays adventures in the Middle East are strangely similar whether we wish to admit it or not.The first hour is rockingly funny till the next hour gets serious and shows the unruliness of war.The movie is not preachy but it makes its point with very sharp humor.A must see film.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
