From the start, the film bowls you over with excitement and for those who can latch on, it's a nonstop ride.
Offering only hackneyed insights into the war, the film makes for stodgy drama. But Williams' manic monologues behind the mike are worth anybody's money.

Make no mistake about it: Mr. Williams's performance, though it's full of uproarious comedy, is the work of an accomplished actor. ''Good Morning, Vietnam'' is one man's tour de force.
It hardly delivers on the promise of giving us the pure, undiluted Williams -- Williams at his best. What's more, it's not even close to being his best movie. It's not even close to being good.

Robin Williams was finally given a showcase for his extraordinary improvisational skills in this, the first comedy set in Vietnam.
The film is distinctive for being Hollywood's first Vietnam comedy and among the first movies to treat the Vietnamese themselves as real people.
Audience Reviews for Good Morning, Vietnam
Robin Williams is excellent, making the most of his improvisation skills and ad-libbing every one of those funny broadcasts (though his frenetic sense of humor may not be for everyone), and it is a great thing that the movie has a lot of heart and understands the complexity of that conflict.
Super Reviewer
Robin Williams is the heart and soul of everything this film is, finding a perfect balance between his frantic comedy and weighted dramatics. If you're going to watch 'Good Morning Vietnam', you're going to watch it for Robin Williams and Robin Williams alone.
Super Reviewer
Playing with your emotions until the very end, "Good Morning, Vietnam" is the type of film that will have you thinking a certain way about something until it is completey turned around into something different. Beginning as a comedy about a DJ who has come to Vietnam to run a radio station in hopes to lighten the mood of Troops in the war and to give a quirky version of the serious news to people around the country. Although it is the reason he is brought in, it may also be the reason they want him to leave. One thing leads to another and the film does a total 180, turning into an all out drama where Robin Williams gives one of his best performances ever. Extremely well-written, well-directed, and superbly acted by everyone, "Good Morning, Vietnam" is easily one of the best films I've ever seen Robin Williams in.
