Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Peter Freedman

Robin Williams received an Oscar nomination for giving here what is essentially a stand-up comedy performance. He plays a motormouth disc jockey sent to Vietnam to entertain the GIs, but, in the event, adds rather more salt, pepper and hot sauce to the place than the military brass would have preferred. Based on the case of a real US armed forces DJ, the film is distinctive for being Hollywood's first Vietnam comedy and among the first movies to treat the Vietnamese themselves as real people. The movie loses its way, however, whenever it tries to get serious, but when Williams is behind the studio mike, it offers a decent showcase for his virtuoso talents. If Williams is not to your taste, there's still the superb 1960s soundtrack to enjoy.
