I've finally seen SGT. BILKO & i enjoyed it, now it's not amazing but it's fun & felt like a mix of "Stripes" & "Police Academy" & had an over-the-top vibe to it all but Steve Martin was actually good as the crazy fun-loving Sgt. Bilko, a guy who is sly & smart & treats the Army Academy as a hustlers playhouse. Now the main reason i wanted to finally watch this was because I'm life-long fan of DAN AYKROYD!!! I grew up watching & loving this guy but "Bilko" was one of his films that i never got around to actually seeing.
Dan Aykroyd plays the gullible & loveable Col. Hall & Aykroyd plays the part fine, he's a nice guy just like Aykroyd in real life & he's always a welcomed presence in Comedies & there's just something nice & comforting hearing his Iconic voice. The chemistry is nice & natural with Aykroyd & Martin here because their good friends in real life as they both worked hard on the Classic comedy show "SNL" back in the day & both genuinely like each other & you can feel that.
I always liked Steve Martin in the 80's comedy Classic "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" with John Candy & the Hilarious "Three Amigos" With Chevy Chase & Martin Short, those are the main films of his i always liked but Martin is a comedy legend in his own right.
We also get another great comedy star here with the Hilarious PHIL HARTMAN (r.i.p) as the Nemesis of the fun-loving Bilko, he plays Major. Thorn & has a vendetta against Bilko for some past trouble & he comes to Bilko's Fort Baxter & things get very funny.
There's plenty of silly humourous bits & fun moments & sometimes it feels abit forced with the humour but "Bilko" is mainly a fun movie, a very 90's Comedy & a sweet film really with three greats of Comedy together. Sgt. Bilko probably won't ever be considered as a Comedy Classic but if you grew up with it or if you love the actors in it then it's a good movie for those reasons & hey it's just some light-hearted fun with everyone game for the crazy antics.
