Stripes: Directed by Ivan Reitman. With Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Warren Oates, P.J. Soles. Two friends who are dissatisfied with their jobs decide to join the army for a bit of fun.
“Stripes” is an anarchic slob movie, a celebration of all that is irreverent, reckless, foolhardy, undisciplined, and occasionally scatological. It's a lot of fun. It comes from some of the same people involved in “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” and could have been titled National Lampoon's Animal Army with little loss of accuracy.
