In the Army Now
Bones Conway and Jack Kaufman didn't really know what they were in for when they enlisted in the U.S. Army; they just wanted to get a job and make some money. But these new recruits are so hapless, they run the risk of getting kicked out before their military careers even begin. Soon, though, they're sent to the Middle East to fight for their country -- which they manage to do in their own wacky ways.

Best movie of this year hands down!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's because this movie turned me onto Live (The Dam At Otter Creek) the song that plays while they are roaming through the desert. I didn't know Paul Mooney had a bit role in this until I watched it again. If you hate Pauly Shore (who isn't bad in this) you should at least like Lori Petty, Andy Dick, David Alan Grier and Lynn Whitfield.
Ok, I admit, although the flick isn't a classic by any means, it's a guilty pleasure for me. When I first saw it, I didn't view it as memoriable, only remembering it as the flick that Pauley Shore chopped off his hair for. Then I viewed it again in 2000. After going through Basic Training for the US Army.I laughed so hard becuase in a lot of the scenes I relate to the characters. Especially the basic training scenes, where they actually used real Drill Sergeants. Although there are some factual errors, the movie stays close to the way the army works. And as a person who's been there, done that, I can say that this movie likely strikes the servicemen as funnier then the average civilian.And now all Water Purification Specialists have been dubbed the Pauley Shore's of the army. I know, I work with them.7/10
i have to be completely honest with whoever reads this, i only watched this because pauley shore was in it. i happen to be amused with his stupid humor, so i turned on the movie. he needs more stupid people to hang around them to make it worthwhile. the girl from a league of their own was in this one, and she tries to be funny. what a joke. she just wasnt funny, she was meant to be a dramatic actress. why did she team up with pauley? what was she thinking? but andy dick and pauley really make stupid funnies together, keeping me laughing. either they are all alone or together, that is the only source of comedy to be found. that is all i have to say about that! (D D-)
Simply not funny. The film contains one of the most stupid quotes ever uttered in any film. Trying to calm down an irate soldier and to foster cooperation, Shore says "Would America have won the Civil War had not Ben Franklin gotten along with Eleanor Roosevelt." A dreadful film.
