| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelWhatever Shore wants to do in the movie business is his business, but the feeling here is that he could expand his audience beyond the teen set if he were to laugh at himself a little bit more. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonBeing an appealing, shallow goof-off can wear thin, and Shore seems incapable of carrying a movie, even when it's a 90-minute knock-off like this. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksFor the uninitiated, Shore's screen persona is somewhere between Jim Varney and Jim Carrey -- if you drained them of all their energy and personality. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelRoger HurlburtFor this they needed three screenwriters? |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Was a much better movie when called "Stripes." |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonThere's no satire, no farce, no wit -- just dumb utterances and whimsical slapstick. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe movie's best performance is given by a camel. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt's a tale as old as the jokes, which were already old when the Peloponnesians went to war. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonEvery promising situation -- Shore suffering through basic training, dealing with real battle and so on -- suffers immediate creative fatigue. |
