Dominican Rep. Sgt. Bilko
2,744
Comedy
Steve Martin steps into Phil Silvers' shoes as the smooth-talking Sgt. Bilko who has mastered the Army's catch-22's to his own benefit, turning bureaucratic obstacles into golden opportunities. That is, until his nemesis Major Thorn arrives to scrutinize Bilko's base, threatening to upset the delicate balance of casinos, under-the-table businesses and other illicit operations Bilko has set in place.

"Under Jonathan Lynn's direction, the film manages to keep a lively balance between the dumbed-down antics of Bilko's platoon (...) and the more nuanced satire of dimwit military brass." | ||
 |
|
"Not fractionally as clever or as fast-paced as the television series upon which it's based" | ||
|
|
|
"Martin makes Bilko's roguishness endearing, and entertaining enough to carry the film even if it is essentially an overextended half-hour sitcom episode" | ||
|
|
|
"Regardless of whether you're a fan of the 1950s series or not, it's doubtful you'll get more than a few halfhearted chuckles out of this lifeless retread." | ||

"A reasonably updated facsimile of a 50s service romp called 'Operation Mad Ball'" |
