The premise and star remain out of whack until the rambling, diffuse screenplay finally struggles beyond basic training.

Stripes will keep potential felons off the streets for two hours. Few people seem to be asking, these days, that movies do more.
October 5, 2008 | Full Review… -
The balance of the film consists of time-tested commercial material, most of which is still working fine.
April 1, 2008 | Full Review… -
[Reitmam] manages a reasonable success rate at pulling off the numerous verbal and sight gags with which the script is peppered.

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

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

Audience Reviews for Stripes

Mar 01, 2012"There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us." Stripes is a classic Bill Murray film that showcases his irreverent humor and brilliant comedic talent. Directed by Ivan Reitman, this ‘80s screwball comedy follows a group of misfits that must come together as a unit in order to pass basic training. In addition to Murray, the film has a great supporting cast that includes Harold Ramis, John Candy, John Larroquette, and Judge Reinhold. However, the film's ‘80s R-rated comedy style is a little problematic with its gratuity and sexcapades that seem forced into the story. Yet despite a few weaknesses, Stripes holds up as a fun and entertaining romp.Dann M Super Reviewer

Feb 01, 2012Funny and entertaining, Ivan Reitman's picture have great comedians on the screen, in hilarious situations, but present a kind of boring ending for a terrific 80's comedy classic.Lucas M Super Reviewer

Sep 20, 2011This movie was quite a lot of fun. It's Bill Murray being pretty great for about 100 minutes. The movie does sort of peak at the graduation ceremony, before they go to Italy. It becomes goofier than it had been previously, but it's still an immensely entertaining movie. That's all I have to say quite frankly. It's streaming on Netflix, so you can't really go wrong with this movie.Jesse O Super Reviewer
