Leave your thoughts about Gung Ho.
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThe film would be funnier and more provocative if it took a stronger stand on one side or the other, but Howard chooses to hedge his bets, selecting an ending that celebrates brotherhood more than the strongly hinted- at notion that American workers would do well to get off their featherbedding backs. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasGung Ho goes after that ever-so-elusive Capra-esque spirit of communal triumph over adversity, but both sides too often verge on stereotypes for this to pay off as richly as it should. |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioBy the end, it's curiously unformed, almost a blueprint for another movie. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordI think the fault is in the screenplay, which tells a story that can be predicted almost from the opening frames. The people who wrote this movie did not bother, or dare, to give us truly individual Japanese characters; there is only one who is developed with any care. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI think the fault is in the screenplay, which tells a story that can be predicted almost from the opening frames. The people who wrote this movie did not bother, or dare, to give us truly individual Japanese characters; there is only one who is developed with any care. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxThe stereotypes are too broad for comfort, despite some funny moments. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt's more cheerful than funny, and so insistently ungrudging about Americans and Japanese alike that its satire cuts like a wet sponge. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyIt's more cheerful than funny, and so insistently ungrudging about Americans and Japanese alike that its satire cuts like a wet sponge. |
| TimeRichard CorlissIts tone swings violently from pratfall to preachment, from an indictment of featherbed laziness to an extended beer-commercial celebration of the mythical American worker. |
