I don't know where to start. I saw this movie for the first time tonight (ok I know I'm slow) and had extremely high expectations! Loving the Police Academy films, and having heard that those were only COPIES of this fantastic film, I couldn't wait. And the cast? This was bound to be a great movie. Growing up in the 80's I love Bill Murray (Ghostbusters I&II, Groundhog Day and I even enjoyed him in Space Jam and Osmosis Jones), but this boring old thing? No.
The start of the movie is so slooooow and serious, but I thought to myself; "Just hold on, it will get better". But it didn't. And comedy? Not much to laugh about here. I mean the scene in the toilet were Winger and the Seargent "fight"?! Not funny but serious!
And what's with the nudity? It has no place in this movie. Like the scenes were the captain watches girls shower, and the whole strip-club thing...? Foolish!
And the last third of the movie takes it all to a whole different level. It's silly, but still not funny. Police Academy is way funnier than this. And what makes the film even worse, are all the countless goofs which can be detected throughout the movie, even when you watch it for the first time!
So if you're reading this and haven't seen this movie, you really do not have to bother. Despite of the reputation as being one of the best comedies of the 80's and despite the good cast, the movie is bad. I can not recommend it. 2 out of 10
