An often hilarious film that provided Bill Murray with a perfect opportunity in which to display his comedic skills.

With a cast that consists largely of Saturday Night Live veterans, laughs are guaranteed, not least from a hilarious Murray.

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

Benefits immensely from being graded on a curve: it's no Ghostbusters, but it's no Police Academy either.

[Reitmam] manages a reasonable success rate at pulling off the numerous verbal and sight gags with which the script is peppered.

Comic '80s military romp has violence, nudity, language.

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

Murray's insouciant Sixties clowning survives being parachuted into the Eighties

The balance of the film consists of time-tested commercial material, most of which is still working fine.

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.

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