Pauly Shore is definitely not one of the few good men Army recruitment has in mind for molding into a soldier. But that doesn't stop pacifist Pauly from signing up for a hitch in the Reserves in order to cash in on all the great perks, including free room and board and a steady salary for doing minimal work. Now, this man's Army is putting Pauly to the test. And Pauly the military misfit is serving his country as only he can, and single-handedly putting the Army on Red Alert.

Rotten Tomatoes® Score

TOMATOMETER®

Critics Consensus: This 1994 Pauly Shore vehicle stretches its star's thin shtick to the breaking point with a laugh-deficient screenplay that borrows shamelessly from Bill Murray's far superior Stripes.

Reviews

Chicago Tribune

Gene Siskel

Whatever Shore wants to do in the movie business is his business, but the feeling here is that he could expand his audience beyond the teen set if he were to laugh at himself a little bit more.

There's no satire, no farce, no wit -- just dumb utterances and whimsical slapstick.

People Magazine

Anyone determined to accentuate the positive (and damn with the faintest of praise) could say this movie isn't quite as stupid as Shore's Son-in-Law. That's the best that can be said.

Was a much better movie when called "Stripes."

If Shore's comic genius eludes you or if you find the film something less than a constant laugh riot, you may still be willing to agree that it's amiable enough and not begrudge in the least the likelihood that Shore fans will be pleased.
