Day 16: Stripes

Director- Ivan Reitman

Writer(s)- Harold Ramis, Len Blum, Daniel Goldberg

Critics Review- "Murray as this laugh-a-minute best...if there's a comedy classic, this is it."- Clint Morris "Moviehole"

Out of a possible of 5 stars- 3 1/2 stars

My Review-

This probably one of the best movies to come out of the 80s from Bill Murray and Harold Ramis since they were in the Ghosbuster movies. and John Candy was just an added bonus, with this being a military comedy it is one of my favorite comedies now. Even the supporting actors in the platoon were funny, even if Judge Reinhold was in the movie a lot. However i thought the movie could have done without Sean Young. Ever sicne seeing her interview about wanting to be catwoman, i always thought she was crazy. Especially Warren Oates as the Sergeant was hilarious trying to get the platoon into shape. This is one of those movies where I wondered why it took me so long to watch it, after I heard along of things about it from pop culture shows, and its one of my moms favorite movies, so I guess why i figured out why I liked this movie so much.

  1. I haven't seen this one in years, but I remember it was hilarious. Probably one of my favorite Murray movies. I really need to give this another watch.
