Good stuff ...
By thelaughingcow (12 reviews) from Greenwich , 03 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Bill Murray plays a downbeat guy with no ambition in life who, in a spur of the moment decision, decides to join the US army with his equally cynical and lazy best friend. Cue a clash of personalities between the Drill Seargeant and Murray - creating a few funny moments.
I'm a big Bill Murray fan, some of his comic timing is impeccable and his characters are always likeable. He hasn't let me down down in Stripes, which I found to be an entertaining comedy overall perfect for a good laugh and a quiet night in.- Was this review helpful to you?

(17)Dated comedy with the odd funny moment.
By Loopgrinder (115 reviews) , 15 May 2013I hadn't seen this film since I was about 13 years old and sadly time has not been kind to it. A very dated film that even Bill Murray, who is one of Hollywood's finest comedy actors, couldn't carry it alone. So into the mix is thrown Harold Ramis (who is definitely better behind the camera) and The Candyman himself (John Candy) but neither of these could help make this film any better. This movie now tends to look like a pre-runner to the endless Police Academy films - and sadly they were actually funnier than this. Shame.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ridiculous film.
By a customer , 21 Apr 2013This film is ridiculous, in a bad way. Don't waste any of your life watching this. You will regret it.- Was this review helpful to you?

An 80's classic
By Franco72 (45 reviews) , 20 Jan 2013Fantastic 80's comedy with the iconic Bill Murray, the late great John Candy and Murray's co star from Ghostbuster's Harold Ramis. A great example of the really funny comedies of the 80's - along with the original Police Academy. Really funny (due to Bill Murray's comedy timing) and a great script, only dated by the fact it was made during the cold war but still really funny with some laugh out load moments - I really recommend this one- Was this review helpful to you?

Very entertaining - Bill Murray on great form
By kellerman (14 reviews) from Harrogate , 12 Jan 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
The bad reviewers completely misinterpret this film. Samfrommaidenhead talks about it looking 30 years old, forgetting that IT IS 30 years old. It didn't win oscars so don't watch expecting an Oscar winning movie. What you get is just great fun, dry humour, bill Murray and Harold Ramis at their best. Some nice, subtle humour that again probably past the bad reviewers by. No classic by any means but s film that is funny, easy watching and one I've watched several times over the past 20 years.- Was this review helpful to you?

A little help?
By a customer , 15 Dec 2012Very very very funny. Subtly un-subtile. OK maybe you had to be there. Bill Murray is a genius. Recommended Double Feature: Stripes, followed by Manhattan. A crash course in post Vietnam American humour.- Was this review helpful to you?
