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+ Copyright 1995 Michael J. Legeros Movie Hell is a trademark of Michael J. Legeros
