Reviews for Sgt. Bilko
Top CriticThe movie is saturated with stagnant, one-note performances from stagnant, one-note actors.
01/01/00
A big disappointment.
04/09/05
One of the pleasures of the movie is all the little jokes hidden in the corners.
01/01/00
Top CriticWe've seen it before, almost frame for frame, in every other service comedy, especially Stripes.
09/23/07
Most of the way, there's plenty here for anyone who's looking for a laugh-provoking time-waster.
01/01/00
Martin's aggrieved expressions and sublime physical bits are constantly entertaining.
01/01/00
Top CriticThough Martin and a solid supporting cast produce a few scattered moments of near-hilarity, for the most part the terrain here is as flat as it gets.
05/19/08
Top CriticThe film is full of gratifying gags like these, but it also has to strain for newly enlarged scope.
08/30/04
Top CriticHighly forgettable, but quite funny.

Sgt. Bilko isn't a bad movie, it just isn't worth the six or seven bucks to get in.
04/17/02
[A] celebration of high jinks.
05/19/08
Top CriticThere is lots of yelling.
03/27/03
Both Martin and Hartman are masters of subtle physical comedics; a raised eyebrow here, a shrug there, and you're in the aisle. Unfortunately, even the genuine genius of those two can't save Lynn's film from its final fate.
01/01/00
This guy still scares me.
01/01/00
Wacky is just the right tone for a spring comedy.
06/18/02
Top CriticSteve Martin faz um bom trabalho, como sempre.
05/31/02
This is shoddy hackwork, replaying classic scenarios (the honest new recruit, audits by Pentagon bigwigs and manoeuvres in Nevada) with such disregard for narrative structure the reels might be in the wrong order.
06/24/06
Aside from the sheer insanity of trying to leap into the shoes of the irreplaceable Phil Silvers, surely Martin should have recognized that the film had no script, no gags and no discernible point.
