You do know that it's a movie, right?
To answer your question, yes, there is a height and weight standard contained in Army Regulation 600-9. Also, some porkers scam by as they wait for thier discharge from the Army, but not many.
When its war time they temp to exclude some requirements. There was a documentary about the military allowing criminals into the military during that whole mess of a war.
