Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

wes-connors A movie starring Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman based on the classic situation comedy has to be hilarious, right? No cigar and not even close. Phil Silvers put a lot of "Phil Silvers" into his "Ernie Bilko" and Mr. Martin wisely substitutes "Steve Martin" manners for his interpretation. This is a smart move on Martin's part, as the two comedians possess a completely different type of energy. However, Martin does not work well with this material, in this situation. Consequently, it falls apart...While certainly no guarantee, it might have been better to star Mr. Hartman attempting a Silvers impersonation. It's relatively interesting to see Cathy Silvers (as Monday) and Chris Rock (as Oster) appear as a genuinely funny team of lieutenants (last saw Ms. Silvers at "Greenblatt's" deli in the 1990s, and she was a delight). Imagine Entertainment's "Bilko" adds likable Daryl Mitchell (as Walter "Wally" Holbrook), but does little with him. The jokes about Fort Baxter's men failing to bathe do not pass the smell test.*** Sgt. Bilko (3/29/96) Jonathan Lynn ~ Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, Daryl Mitchell

TongueFu This may or may not be the worst movie that Steve Martin has ever made, but it certainly was far from his best. Obviously, he did this crap for the pay check. Dreck like this certainly does nothing to enhance his reputation as a funny man. What he doesn't seem to grasp is that when people go to see a Steve Martin movie, they expect to be entertained, not bored to tears. It's sad that he dragged Dan Aykroyd and Phil Hartman down with him. I don't understand why talented people can't get a grip on the fact that people don't want to see them in lousy movies. If you're going to call a movie a comedy, then it should be funny. This wasn't. Shame on the US military for allowing itself to be associated with this pabulum, too. Full Metal Jacket had more laughs than this miserable excuse for a "service comedy." Surely, Phil Silvers is rolling over in his grave.

hunterbick I read the review that is up right now, and I'm pretty sure he talks about other movies than the main movie.Steve Martin is well the exact same in every role, you know this, I know this, everyone knows this. It doesn't take from this movie at all, this movie is simple fun, and rated PG by the MPAA so you can watch it with the family. It has some very interesting aspects and has Phil Hartman in it too which makes it almost comedy gold.The movie has Bilko dealing with an old major (Hartman) who he screwed over once upon a time. Hartman is intent on getting Bilko, and the antics are pretty "darn" funny. The movie also has Chris Rock in it, and it's a simple funny movie that didn't try to hard. I don't know why people always bag on this movie. Maybe because they had such high expectations and never even gave it a chance. They are showing this on USA pretty often and it's easy to watch and moves fairly quickly.I recommend this movie for everyone to at least see.

Lee Eisenberg ...I say that I like the movie. I think that Steve Martin was the perfect person to play the role, and that it was good for him and Dan Aykroyd to co-star after all these years. If it was lower humor than we usually associate with the two, then the crazy scenes justify that. I remember that I saw this a week or two after I saw "Mr. Holland's Opus", and was surprised to see Glenne Headly doing such a different role. Phil Hartman, meanwhile, makes one nasty dude (it reminds you what we lost when he got killed).Anyway, this is a silly movie, but quite funny. I suspect that up in that great army base in the sky, Phil Silvers must feel honored that they made this movie.Also featuring Chris Rock and Silvers's daughter Cathy in supporting roles.
