Summary: Stripes: sophomoric humor at its medium...
Comment: In The Simpsons, Sideshow Bob has a tendency to step on rakes with his big feet, crashing the handle into his face. The sound he utters is a kind of a vocal shudder: "ahrhbbbahrhbbbbahrhbbbbbahrhbbbbbahrhbbb."
I felt like repeating this throughout the movie.
In Stripes, Bill Murray joins the US Army. He makes it through boot camp with his "reject authority" attitude, then gets sent to Europe where, of course, everybody else is stupid. At times, he gives you that Caddyshack "lip droop"; otherwise he's just smirking, joking, and being sarcastic.
This was pretty sophomoric throughout. Lots of sex jokes, partial nudity, army officers are all stupid, yada yada.
Stripes might have started off Bill Murray's movie career, but this one should have gotten him a Golden Raspberry Award ("Razzie"). Now John Candy showed some serious comedic acting. Go John!
Want a movie in the "boot camp changes a person" genre? Try The Waterboys.

Comment: The Bottom Line:
Though Stripes has its amusing moments, almost all of them occur in the first half; after the movie leaves boot camp it never recovers what comic momentum it had in the first 50 minutes or so.

Summary: Stripes
Comment: I guess comedy, not unlike beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Keogh's lackluster review of this movie could may well fall into this category. This was a much loved movie in it's day, and remains a classic in my eyes. Having seen it multiple times over the years since it's original release I can honestly say that I still lol and continue to discover comedic subtleties (sp?)I didn't notice before. I still say "lighten up, Francis" (taken from Warren Oates' character from this movie)when confronted with a person getting bent out of shape for some reason. Of course no one gets the connection but me, but I don't care. Bottom line, if you haven't seen it watch it at least 3 times. If you're over 55 I don't have to tell you. . . . it's a great flick!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Classic movie with extras
Comment: I have always loved this movie. When I found this Unrated version with some cuts that never made it in the original, I bought it. It's worth every penny of the low price I paid. This is one of those movies you can watch over and over again. I also bought it to allow my nephews to watch it. They've never seen this movie and I know they'll love it.
