I liked this movie. It's the kind they made in the past but also clearly elevated...a bit. It's not only a really good and funny comedy in the first half, but also a (anti-)war movie that hits the right notes in the second half. Of course, it's made by Peter Farrelly, after all.
It's also a movie my dad would like very much, so it's a good thing it's on a streaming service. But it's also very good it's a dad movie. These are feel good movies most of time that tackle superficial political themes...so yeah, a war movie about a dude that travels 12.000 nautical miles to bring beer to his neighbourhood buddies is right on that vein.
Zach Efron was simply great playing the focused minded Chickie (I mean, just by his name you can characterise him) with a mission on his mind and while on his adventure we also find tubby Russell Crowe, who is playing a war correspondent, that kinda vibes with his story and follows him along. He, by the way, steals every scene he is in. I actually wanted to see all the pictures he took of Chickie, but sadly, I was bamboozled...ah well.
I would rewatch this at some point.
