Stripes

After losing his job, home, and relationship, a directionless man persuades his best friend to enlist in the U.S. Army. Alongside a mismatched group of recruits, he clashes with strict military authority, survives basic training, and becomes involved in an increasingly chaotic overseas misadventure.

My take

You’ll probably enjoy this if you like irreverent military farces, ensemble misfits, and broad 1980s comedy, especially National Lampoon’s Animal House; Not for you if you want consistent pacing or restrained humor.
