This film is what I expected: more silly than funny, but charismatically acted. The early scenes involving boot camp were surprisingly not so bad, but the movie enters eye-rolling territory shortly after that.
I'm surprised it took this many writers to produce such a mediocre story and script. There are so many aspects of real military life that are genuinely funny and could be written into a good comedic script. Instead, audiences way too often get flicks like this one, full of ridiculous situations in whatever reductive version of the military that writers who never actually served just cavalierly made up.
