A film of three parts really, and the first part isn’t as funny as I remember it.
The first part is we get to see Bill Murray and Harold Ramis before they sign up. It’s a short segment, but I remember it being much more fun than it was, but this time watching, it felt a little forced and only intermittently funny.
The second part is the actual basic training – and things really shape up. This is the best section in the movie, and there’s lots of solid entertainment in this part. I particularly liked the passing-out ceremony with the drilling high jinx.
The third part is a rescue, and it’s decent enough, particularly the running joke with the border guards.
Overall enjoyable, Murry and Ramis are in great form, and the supporting cast is solid to great.
