Hard-luck cabbie John Winger, directionless after being fired from his job and dumped by his girlfriend, enlists in the U.S. Army with his close pal, Russell Ziskey. After his barely satisfactory performance in basic training, the irreverent Winger emerges as the figurehead for a ragtag band of misfits. However, his hijinks threaten to cause an international scandal when he inadvertently commandeers a military assault vehicle behind enemy lines.

"Bill Murray in a classic, fun look into the life of a so called "loser" who as a last resort joins the army with his best friend (played by Harold Ramis). John Candy is amongst the recruits and it's a goofy, hilarious 80's film to the end. I love it! I saw it on cable in the 80's and have seen it many times since. Highly recommended. 😎"

"I finally got around to seeing this movie, and it was about time! Bill Murray must have had a blast ad-libbing lines for this film. There are also enough 1980's movie stars to fill a small parade.🎈 The best part of the movie to me are the training scenes, and certainly the last half hour of comedic audacity. This is a great popcorn movie. Warning: ⚠️ Brief female nudity."
