Review Time

Warning: I should just say this to cover my back; if I bring up anything it is just based on the fact it is in this film and if you are of a sensitive nature like a snowflake I wouldn't recommend you watch this film as this film when this review/blog was first dictated it is roughly 41 years old; there is flashing/colourful effects/suicide/drugs/beastie allergy reference/under age sexual; for an example a boy and a girl are acting older than what they are physically talking about how they like their coffee/medical

Storyline/Characters [Character developments]/Comedy/Action Art/Performances: these components at one point or another combined. The storyline is good; firstly and ongoing we have this romantic situation between Striker/Heys and Dickinson/Hagerty; Ex's and individually they have their own shimmery effects recalling their time together storyteller in the case of Striker/Heys or him remembering these wartime moments [over Macho Grande] or Dickinson/Hagerty remembering their time together and on top of that we have this situation quickly developing and all I can say about that is "Don't eat the fish." The piece of this project is likewise good as the comedy is in some way a continuous presence and as it relates to the comedy I will just give you some examples of it, so I can pick the relatively safe ones to leave in this review; a parody of from Saturday Night Fever 1977, McCroskey/Bridges choosing a bad week to give up these things [it changes every time.  Dr. Rumack/Nielsen says "I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you." [He repeats this sentence/sequence; during and after this situation as well.]

The performances are all good there is really good on-screen chemistry from everyone involved in this project but there is someone that stands head and shoulders above everyone else and that would be Leslie Nielsen as Dr. Rumack; his deadpan delivery is spot on and it is of the highest order; serious or comical he just delivers it the same way with our breaking character.

 This film receives: 7/10, this film is good: as I have just said this film is good and it knows what it is trying to deliver and deliver on that it does by being bonkers.
