The title gives you some idea of the level of sophistication of this instantly forgettable vehicle for Damon Wayans. He plays an aggressive marine given the job of knocking the useless new junior recruits into shape at a military academy. Although no one can accuse Wayans of not giving the role his all (he's an even nastier version of Louis Gossett Jr in An Officer and a Gentleman), watching him spout abuse at a bunch of misfits is not great entertainment. Some occasionally funny dialogue and the star's enthusiastic sadism keep it just about watchable.

Soft-centred drama about a hard man learning that killing isn't everything in life, but the comedy is strictly by the numbers.

Some of the funniest moments I've seen
Damon Waynes is so unexpectedly funny in this all round family movie (if you don't mind a few mild swear words). As an adult you are roped into watching films sometimes and this was for a change pleasing as the humour WILL appeal to adults as well as the kids. There were some moments during the film when I was in tears laughing just because of things that Damon said. A drill seargeant from hell (and straight from fighting the Viet Cong) meets a bunch of lazy kids is just the mix for pant wettingly funny moments. Go on your intrigued you know you wanna watch it.
