Stripes is a movie about two friends who quit their jobs and join the army. They are, however, up to no good and create all sorts of fun and chaos.
At first I started watching this movie in background while scanning receipts, but then I ended up giving most of my attention to it. It was decent.
I suppose my only critique of the film involved the ending: the ending was silly because the protagonists got rewarded for a situation which they caused.
Overall, Stripes is largely in line with other comedy movies of it's era (1980s) and after seeing a handful of them I'd say they've grown on me. On that note, I recommend this movie to those who enjoy other comedy movies released during this time period.*
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 96% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
*It should also be noted, for those that need to know, there are a couple short scenes with nudity (breasts).
