After Meatball and Caddyshack Bill Murray got his first great top billing role in Stripes, exploring his authentic look of aloofness that shaped your long career, surfing in the successful comedy on Army as Private Benjamin, this one follows the same facetious concept, a shattered John Winger that just lost your job as cab driver, his car is robbed and arriving to home his girlfriend dropped him, when appears his closest friend Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis), John convinces him to join in the Army hoping for best days, there they meeting the weirdest guys for a platoon ever seen including John Candy, Judge Reinhold and John Diehl, together with hard line Sergeant Hulka (Warren Oates) who becomes their worst nightmares on training, also has the gorgeous Stella (P.J. Soles) and Louise (Sean Young) as military policewomen on the barracks, further the daffy Captain Stillman (John Larroquette) seemingly silly at first glance, somehow it has many meaningful hilarious sequences that increase the picture in another path, mainly by the duo comic Murray-Ramis, sustained by a clever screenplay wrote by Lem Blum-Goldberg and Ramis, directed by Ivan Reitman who allow Murray improvises in countless takes, the differential of this picture lays down in the Murray's comic vein and the body language of Ramis as well, delightful to watch and highly underrated!!
