Hilarious. It's funny how much of this still holds up. The end does drag on a little tough. I still think it should have ended at the graduation ceremony...

“There’s something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us.” Stripes is a classic Bill Murray film that showcases his irreverent humor and brilliant comedic talent. Directed by Ivan Reitman, this ‘80s screwball comedy follows a group of misfits that must come together as a unit in order to pass basic training. In addition to Murray, the film has a great supporting cast that includes Harold Ramis, John Candy, John Larroquette, and Judge Reinhold. However, the film’s ‘80s R-rated comedy style is a little problematic with its gratuity and sexcapades that seem forced into the story. Yet despite a few weaknesses, Stripes holds up as a fun and entertaining romp.

An '80s comedy from the director, and two stars of _Ghostbusters_ (1984); how could this not be great? I'm going to blame the writer, because the story is weak.
And what is the story? A "lovable loser," of sorts, John Winger - Murray - joins the army. He, along with a group of similarly oddball sol More
