It may at times feels like it levels out when it comes to the humour but soon as you think so another spike of hilarity interjects making it pretty much laugh a minute.

One thing which is very apparent is that "Stripes" is a perfectly paced movie, full of energy and that is thanks to director Ivan Reitman who never allows the movie to lull once. It works well and even scenes, such as one which sees one of the recruits, Dewey 'Ox' Oxberger played by John Candy, enter a mud wrestling competition in a strip bar, doesn't actually feel out of place.

Saying that, and despite not having a strong storyline, "Stripes" doesn't just feel like a series of set pieces rather a series of scenes that parody certain aspects of army life. But then it really doesn't matter as the joy which is "Stripes" comes from the non stop comedy than any meaningful screen play. In honesty the storyline behind "Stripes" is quite weak with the first half of the movie being more about providing laughs rather than the actual army training and then the second half which is a hair brained rescue attempt again focuses more on laughs than anything else.
Having managed to get the platoon through training and graduated they find themselves on a special mission which thanks to John's romantic notions goes disastrously wrong. But smart-ass John soon gets on the wrong side of drill sergeant Hulka (Warren Oates) and somehow becomes the unofficial leader of the platoon full of misfits and losers. As with many comedies from the early 80's the cast includes several stalwarts from Saturday Night Live and although features a reasonable storyline is more about the humour than anything else.Īfter a run of bad luck, unemployed John ( Bill Murray - Zombieland) convinces his best friend Russell ( Harold Ramis - Knocked Up) that they should enlist in the army, saying that it will be like a holiday whilst they get in shape. It again sees Murray excelling when it comes to flippant remarks and sees him partner up with Harold Ramis in a hysterical comedy about life in the army. “Garfield maybe.For those who fell in love with the smart-ass humour of Bill Murray in " Ghostbusters" and " Caddyshack" then "Stripes" is a must watch. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I’m going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it.” The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) “We’re in this life, and if you’re not available, the sort of ordinary time goes past and you didn’t live it. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can’t buy backbone. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. But here’s my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. You were born rich and you’re going to stay rich. And it’s going to last for the rest of your life.” “The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.” And when I do, it’s usually something unusual.
