Aside from the sheer insanity of trying to leap into the shoes of the irreplaceable Phil Silvers, surely Martin should have recognized that the film had no script, no gags and no discernible point.

A big disappointment.

Wacky is just the right tone for a spring comedy.

CLassic Stevey Martin full of great one-liners.

Martin's Bilko is a career grifter who comes out on top every time. He's a Bilko for the nasty '90s, oily and smug.

There is lots of yelling.

[A] celebration of high jinks.

We've seen it before, almost frame for frame, in every other service comedy, especially Stripes.

This Sgt. Bilko should be court-martialed.

This is shoddy hackwork, replaying classic scenarios (the honest new recruit, audits by Pentagon bigwigs and manoeuvres in Nevada) with such disregard for narrative structure the reels might be in the wrong order.

Though Martin and a solid supporting cast produce a few scattered moments of near-hilarity, for the most part the terrain here is as flat as it gets.

The film is full of gratifying gags like these, but it also has to strain for newly enlarged scope.
