Summary: You can't leave!! All the plants will die!!
Comment: Most people put Caddy Shack as Bill Murrays so-called signiture movie. Wrong. Stripes was it and still is. It was post-SNL Bill at his total best and full of confidence. It's also kind of an intersting period piece as well. In sort of a twisted way, it shows the U.S. military in its recovery mode shortly after Vietnam when they were trying to do a bit of image rebuilding. Not that Murray was a poster child or anything, he and the writers simply took the logo "Todays Army" and colored it a bit different. Everyone has a small batch of DVD's that they hang onto as their personal stash, and watch maybe a couple of times a year and have classic scenes that they can lip sync along with. Stripes has lots of them.

Summary: Stripes: sophomoric humor at its medium...
Comment: In The Simpsons, Sideshow Bob has a tendency to step on rakes with his big feet, crashing the handle into his face. The sound he utters is a kind of a vocal shudder: "ahrhbbbahrhbbbbahrhbbbbbahrhbbbbbahrhbbb."
I felt like repeating this throughout the movie.
In Stripes, Bill Murray joins the US Army. He makes it through boot camp with his "reject authority" attitude, then gets sent to Europe where, of course, everybody else is stupid. At times, he gives you that Caddyshack "lip droop"; otherwise he's just smirking, joking, and being sarcastic.
This was pretty sophomoric throughout. Lots of sex jokes, partial nudity, army officers are all stupid, yada yada.
Stripes might have started off Bill Murray's movie career, but this one should have gotten him a Golden Raspberry Award ("Razzie"). Now John Candy showed some serious comedic acting. Go John!
Want a movie in the "boot camp changes a person" genre? Try The Waterboys.

Comment: The Bottom Line:
Though Stripes has its amusing moments, almost all of them occur in the first half; after the movie leaves boot camp it never recovers what comic momentum it had in the first 50 minutes or so.

Summary: Stripes
Comment: I guess comedy, not unlike beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. Keogh's lackluster review of this movie could may well fall into this category. This was a much loved movie in it's day, and remains a classic in my eyes. Having seen it multiple times over the years since it's original release I can honestly say that I still lol and continue to discover comedic subtleties (sp?)I didn't notice before. I still say "lighten up, Francis" (taken from Warren Oates' character from this movie)when confronted with a person getting bent out of shape for some reason. Of course no one gets the connection but me, but I don't care. Bottom line, if you haven't seen it watch it at least 3 times. If you're over 55 I don't have to tell you. . . . it's a great flick!
