I had a lot of fun with this no-thinking type comedy. It's perfect for a stress-free afternoon where you can drink a beer or snack on chips and just kill some time. It's funny, it's amusing, the antics are silly, and the story is actually engaging. Pauly Shore and Andy Dick need money after losing their jobs, find their way to the Army reserve recruitment center (quick money, easy hours, right? right???), and all is fun and games until they are called up because of a small type war in Libya... And guess what? Yep, Pauly and Andy save the day. It's formula, it's predictable at times, but it's just too fun to resist. I enjoyed my afternoon with this movie. I'm getting the DVD. It's fun enough to watch again when I feel like killing an easy afternoon. :)

I saw this movie years ago and I laughed like crazy had actually forgot about it until I saw it here on Amazon and was like omg I gotta have that LOL! I really like Pauly Shore and find him funny this is a great movie if you have had a rough day and need a good laugh!! Check it out Im sure you will love it too!!

Bones (Pauly Shore) and his friend Jack (Andy Dick) find that they are not quite ept at selling or much of anything for that matter. They find the perfect solution, the U.S. Army Reserves just a weekend each month and two weeks a year and they pay you. One can even learn a new skill.

Quickly thinking they chose water purification knowing that they would be the last to be called in the event of a conflict. Oops just what is needed in the desert. They make a last ditch effort to avoid mobilization by insisting that they are "funny that way." The Sergeant calls on them to prove it. Bones replies, "Is it hot in Chad?"

So the adventure begins with a gung ho buddy Christine (Lori Petty), Special Forces and a camel.

Will they survive and what lessens do they learn?

What is that that the camel is standing on?

The comedy is more in the Shore line with double-entendres and situations more than sophomoric slapstick. (With a few exceptions)

Just like all of his other movies, this one really doesn't go anywhere-but that doesn't mean it wont offer you a good time. There are many great one-liners and the acting is much better than you would expect. I have seen this movie many times and I simply never get tired of it. Don't hesitate to purchase, it's 100% worth it!

It was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen

Very funny is a must have for comedy/military buffs!
Worth the money by far!

The first time I saw this movie I almost bust a gut. Think of the most incommpetent two guys you can imagine now put them in the army. Well what you get is a lot of laughs.

Pauly Shore dude gets his head shaved for the first time in this
Great Military Comedy about two former salesmen who join up in
the Military as Waterboys but is being sent to Chad and the Gulf war is being held there. this is one of those films that prove pauly can be funny, plus i think he's a great comedian.

I would also recommend: Son-in-Law, M*A*S*H, Bio-Dome, Jury Duty,
BlackHawk Down, Mulan, and Saving Private Ryan.

I like thees movie, it funny. It muy bien. Polly Shore is comedy genious. It makes me want to join army, pero I no citizen. La migra want me.

Pauly Shore plays " Bones Conway" who signs up in the Reserves to Chad and ends up being a troublemaker for the army. Hilarious and wonderful, it proves that Pauly Shore can't always be annoying and it sure will satisify anyone's laughing taste.

Recommendations: Son-in-Law, Jury Duty.
