Review of Stripes (1981) by Shane B — 26 Nov 2013
Constantly rambunctious but not always hilarious, Stripes only somewhat lives up to its title as a "classic comedy." However, it benefits from funny-men Bill Murray and particularly Harold Ramis, who were at the top of their comedic form at the time.
John Candy also stars in a few hilarious scenes, particularly the infamous mud wrestling scene. Overall, Stripes was too inconsistent to transcend "good comedy" to "great comedy.".
