Review of Stripes (1981) by Graham M — 23 Feb 2015
There's no doubt that Bill Murray has had an unbelievable career of funny moments, yet thisâ" the one that truly put him on the cinematic map - may be his finest hour. While the directing and writing career of Harold Ramis was still in the novice stage at this time, he was still smart enough and aware of Murray's talent to realize what the success of this movie truly was going to be: let Bill be Bill.
Ramos is the perfect Abbott to Murray's Costello, and the performances of people like John Larroquette, Sean Young, and P.J. Soles, do an amazing job of filling in whatever holes there are in the script.
Of course, no mention of this film is complete without talking about the scene stealing performances of John Candy and Warren Oates.
