Major Payne (1995)


Homey the Clown as a soldier.  That's the idea behind this silly, rude,
and ultimately hilarious comedy about a strict military officer (Damon
Wayans) assigned to a platoon of junior ROTC cadets.  What sounds
dangerously uplifting is really nothing more than two hours of Damon
Wayans spouting insults and excrement jokes.  Set in the same universe
as the Three Stooges-- where anything can happen and usually does-- this
is critic-proof comedy at its best.  Don't even bother to bring a brain.

Based on THE PRIVATE WAR OF MAJOR BENSON (1955).

Grade: C+
