Yeah....spoofing actors who go through basic is one thing. Once I found out that the guy with the hooks was a fake in the movie, it was all down hill for me. Besides, I dont know of any POW camp that would let you off of the hook because of your acting career. The humor just wasn't there for me.

On the other hand, Tom Cruise had me lughing my ass off. If only the rest of the cast were right there.

As to your first point, I was never in the service, so I don't really have your perspective on that one, although I certainly understand where you're coming from. The POW camp thing, well, it was a spoof comedy. To expect realistic isn't, well, um, realistic I guess.

And yeah, Tom Cruise was a scream. "Who's the key grip here? Ok, I want you to go punch that director hard as shit right in the face." LOL

Robert Downey Jr. was great too.
