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.

By Matthew on May 10, 2007
One of Ivan Reitman's best 1980s comedies, about a pair of losers who join the army to get away from their lives. There's definately that mysognistic undertone to the film that is rife through most comedies of the era, but Bill Murray is the most talented comedian of modern cinema, and his charisma alone makes the film a joy to watch, still to this day.

Bill Murray is HilARious as a two bit loser who joins the army in order to get in shape in this Ivan Reitman directed 1981 comedy... he clashes wickedly with his platoon Sgt (played well by Warren Oates)... very funny, as Murray leads his rag tag bunch of misfits and losers, leading up to an exciting rescue attempt & mission behind the Iron Curtain... great stuff!!

This movie is a lot of fun. Comedic actors such as Bill Murray, John Candy and Harold Ramis join the army and are part of the unfittest basic training group ever, but somehow after losing their drill sargeant they become disciplined and get sent on assignment to Europe where all sorts of hijinx happen and they end up having to save troops from enemy capture. Laughs from all sorts of areas here, as you would expect from these actors.
