Murray's insouciant Sixties clowning survives being parachuted into the Eighties
TV Guide's Movie Guide
An often hilarious film that provided Bill Murray with a perfect opportunity in which to display his comedic skills.

| Original Score: 3/4
The balance of the film consists of time-tested commercial material, most of which is still working fine.
Film4
With a cast that consists largely of Saturday Night Live veterans, laughs are guaranteed, not least from a hilarious Murray.
Time Out
Top Critic[Reitmam] manages a reasonable success rate at pulling off the numerous verbal and sight gags with which the script is peppered.
Fantastica Daily
The first hour of Stripes is side-splittingly hilarious. Unfortunately, it fizzles a bit once Warren Oates' Sgt. "The Big Toe" Hulka disappears.

One major difference between the slob comedies of yesteryear and the ones of today is that of simple craftsmanship. As in, Stripes has some.

Murray's insouciant performance carries the movie and has inspired countless imitators, from the young Tom Hanks to Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell.

An anarchic slob movie, a celebration of all that is irreverent, reckless, foolhardy, undisciplined, and occasionally scatological. It's a lot of fun.

Mr. Murray hasn't yet reached the point at which his routines can be sustained for more than 10 minutes at a time. But he has achieved a sardonically exaggerated calm that can be very entertaining.
