Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 7/10 by Walter GoodmanTake a healthy helping of Raiders of the Lost Ark, a dollop of The Bridge on the River Kwai, a dash of any Tarzan movie, a soupcon of Casablanca, a whiff of The Wizard of Oz and a stunt or two from a favorite Saturday serial, stir frenetically, and if you're lucky enough to have snappy dialogue by Ken Levine and David Isaacs, you may end up with as funny a movie as Volunteers.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Bill CosfordHanks is excellent and has a way with funny lines that marks him as one of the better droll comic actors, if given the right material. Here, writers Ken Levine and David Isaacs have provided the actors with solid jokes.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAs a satire on the 1960s, the film, directed by Nicholas Meyer, is more sour than silly.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Gene SiskelIt's a shame that this often cute script couldn't have better served, and been better served by, its actors.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 5/10 by Steve CrumOften funny premise, but comedy cast makes it work.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Paul AttanasioVolunteers is a collection of one-liners, mostly good, wrapped around an undeveloped story, generally dull. Despite its frequent glimmers of intelligence, it's an unsatisfactory comedy that yawns to a close.
User Review - 10/10 by Jessica JHilarious movie ha ha still laughing (smile).
User Review - 10/10 by Adam RTom Hanks and John Candy were outstanding! This movie is where Tom Hanks met Rita Wilson filming and later married (28 years now)! Much of the humor is dry and over the head of the lobotomy crowd.
User Review - 10/10 by Gregg WA very odd movie, but it made me chuckle and that's all that matters. I've never seen a stranger Tom Hanks movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UCan't name any other movie with the Wazzu fight song in it.
