Putting Mr. Shore under the authority of a pretty female drill sergeant (Lynn Whitfield) is, along with that bad haircut, one of this film's only ways of getting laughs.

They join the army, where boys become men, and you can get to see the world, too. And when they've finished their tour of duty, they can finally open that stereo store they've dreamed of owning. But meanwhile, America's security is in the hands of these laid-back dimwits -- and that's bad news for those good men in uniform with a sense of duty. (Not to mention to country!) The only question is, who's going to fall apart first: the new recruits or the military as we know it? [More]

Reviews for In the Army Now
Every promising situation -- Shore suffering through basic training, dealing with real battle and so on -- suffers immediate creative fatigue.
It's a tale as old as the jokes, which were already old when the Peloponnesians went to war.
The screenplay, work by five writers, based on a story by three others, seems to have been rewritten often enough that any individuality has been lost.
