Reviews for Stripes
Stripes will keep potential felons off the streets for two hours. Few people seem to be asking, these days, that movies do more.

Am I the only person alive that realizes this movie blows? Bill Murray is a standout, nonetheless.

Trust me, it was a whole lot funnier when you were ten.

Murray's initial transition from the small screen is a classic.

[Reitmam] manages a reasonable success rate at pulling off the numerous verbal and sight gags with which the script is peppered.
02/09/06
With a cast that consists largely of Saturday Night Live veterans, laughs are guaranteed, not least from a hilarious Murray.
04/01/08
An often hilarious film that provided Bill Murray with a perfect opportunity in which to display his comedic skills.

The first hour of Stripes is side-splittingly hilarious. Unfortunately, it fizzles a bit once Warren Oates' Sgt. "The Big Toe" Hulka disappears.
