The lighter side of the military


Okay, the acting is not of the highest caliber, the pyrotechnics are horrible, and Kate Capshaw whistling the theme song to Indiana Jones was a bit too obvious. But it has lots of good moments too.

Dudley Moore is his own funny self, his dialogues with George Dzundza are great,
the situation with the tank crew is close to hilarious ("for 50 bucks he tow you to gas station"), and David Rasche is the actual backbone of this movie.

Yes ofcourse Micki and Maude is much funnier, but I've seen worse movies with much higher budgets.

Overal it scores better than average with me.
