Takes me back to my basic training days, although a few of Major Payne's punishments wouldn't have been allowed. The major plot points are quite predictable, but the details are not, and that is what mostly makes it entertaining.
Major Payne, who's spent his adult life fighting in wars and skirmishes, suddenly finds himself without such a followup opportunity. Thus, he agrees to act as drill instructor at a civilian school. Of course, his motley crew hate his harsh methods for quite a spell, and even make several attempts to have him dismissed. Of course, they eventually learn to respect his methods and cooperate with him in his ambition for them to win the coveted state military games trophy. Of course, the young single female counselor initially disapproves of his methods, and at one point, calls him a "psychopathic, egomaniac, a**hole". But, of course, she eventually softens her opinion, they date, and eventually marry, as in Payne's daydream while he's waiting at the train station, to leave. Of course, we 'know' that he's not really going to leave for active duty in Bosnia, just prior to the military games, for which they have been preparing. Of course, we 'know' that his cadets will win the trophy at the games, even in his absence, and even when all looks to be lost.
I don't understand why his motley group of cadets were of such different ages and heights. One seemed like he still belonged in grade school, while some looked to be high schoolers?
