 | First, off, if it has Pauly Shore it is pretty much guaranteed to be funny. In this comedy, Pauly Shore and his buddy sign up to be in the reserves because they need the money, little does he know when he picks their area of expertise, water clarifacation, that it is something that will actually be needed and they get called into active duty. Watch this movie! |

| I enjoyed this movie because one thing. The Basic Training scene. It was filmed in the fort that i became a man, the home of the field artillery, Fort Sill, OK |

| After I graduated from Basic Training (I went to Ft. Leonard Wood, not Fort Sill) I was in this "Army movie kick". I watched all sorts of military movies, from funny, to serious, to ridiculous. I was surprised to find that the basic training scenes in this film are very realistic (to extents). I was shocked to see cattle cars, gig lines, "drop the pin, throw the grenade", and the way Pauly Shore says "Drill Sergeant" is perfect. It is lacking in a few areas. First of all, flirting with a drill sergeant is the absolute last thing you would ever do. In the real Army, Pauly Shore would have probably been chaptered out of the Army for such fraternization.
The rest of this movie is just silly. The broad variety of characters keeps the movie interesting, but unfortunately, the plot thins out in the middle and I found myself wishing it would get to the point. There are some funny one liners in the film, such as, "Son, I'm your First Sergeant". "I'm sorry, but I've already had a few."
It's worth the time to watch it, especially if you've gone through basic training in the past 12 years. Give it a try. |

| Bones (Pauly Shore) and his friend Jack (Andy Dick) find that they are not quite ept at selling or much of anything for that matter. They find the perfect solution, the U.S. Army Reserves just a weekend each month and two weeks a year and they pay you. One can even learn a new skill.
Quickly thinking they chose water purification knowing that they would be the last to be called in the event of a conflict. Oops just what is needed in the desert. They make a last ditch effort to avoid mobilization by insisting that they are "funny that way." The Sergeant calls on them to prove it. Bones replies, "Is it hot in Chad?"
So the adventure begins with a gung ho buddy Christine (Lori Petty), Special Forces and a camel.
Will they survive and what lessens do they learn?
What is that that the camel is standing on?
The comedy is more in the Shore line with double-entendres and situations more than sophomoric slapstick. (With a few exceptions)
