"The film would be funnier and more provocative if it took a stronger stand on one side or the other, but Howard chooses to hedge his bets, selecting an ending that celebrates brotherhood" | ||||
"'Gung Ho' goes after that ever-so-elusive Capra-esque spirit of communal triumph over adversity, but both sides too often verge on stereotypes for this to pay off as richly as it should." | ||||
"Drawn from real life, the conflict between cultures is good for both a laugh and a sober thought along the way." | ||||
"I think the fault is in the screenplay, which tells a story that can be predicted almost from the opening frames (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"It's more cheerful than funny, and so insistently ungrudging about Americans and Japanese alike that its satire cuts like a wet sponge." |
