The first hour of Stripes is side-splittingly hilarious. Unfortunately, it fizzles a bit once Warren Oates' Sgt. "The Big Toe" Hulka disappears.

An anarchic slob movie, a celebration of all that is irreverent, reckless, foolhardy, undisciplined, and occasionally scatological. It's a lot of fun.

The premise and star remain out of whack until the rambling, diffuse screenplay finally struggles beyond basic training.

Stripes will keep potential felons off the streets for two hours. Few people seem to be asking, these days, that movies do more.
