My favorite Spielberg movie! I actually paid to see this THREE times. It took the first 2 times just to be able to follow the dozen or more plotlines running simultaneously. I think most people completely miss that the "main" story in the film is with Bobbi DeCicco, Diane Kaye, Treat Williams and the jitterbug contest. - @Monday, December 3, 2018 12:26 AM

Damn! That's some funny shit! I have never heard of this film, nor knew that Spielberg directed this film until now. This trailer had me ROTFL. Gotta love Spielberg, as always he is a brilliant mastermind. - @Saturday, February 10, 2018 9:24 AM

Yes, this film is highly flawed. Yes, this film is bad compared to other Spielberg movies. But damn it, I really liked this movie - @Wednesday, September 27, 2017 2:50 AM

Really don't understand all the hate for this movie, but each to their own, Ive always found it really funny and very silly (in the best possible way), and it features some of the best model work ever put on film, particularly all the flying through Hollywood stuff, and the action on the pier. Just watching this trailer makes me want to go and watch the whole thing again. - @Friday, September 22, 2017 10:11 PM

This was one of the most disappointing movies I ever saw. In a unfitting epilogue, the self-hating, anti-American historians James Loewen (Lies My Teacher Told Me) and his more famous co-Marxist Howard Zinn (Peoples History of the US) cite this anachronistic piece of garbage as evidence of 1940's-era American xenophobia and racism, rather than dismissing it as the failed remake of Animal House it actually was. Today, it is required viewing in revisionist history classes and, for them and their young charges, who are de-lighted this lesson involves no reading, has become the Gone With the Wind anti-American WWII movie. Pass the bong, comrade. - @Monday, March 30, 2015 2:06 AM

Wasn't this movie made by Spielberg to debunk the "Battle of Los Angles" UFO sighting in February 25, 1942. There was a lot of artillery firing at something that faithful night with over 1400 shells spent. Six people died that night from unrelated activities ie, heart attacks car crashes brought on by the shelling. The U.S. Gov't still attributed the sighting a weather balloon like it did with Roswell. The original negative of the historic news photo from the L.A. Times is missing. Could there a cover up of that event like Roswell? - @Saturday, January 24, 2015 8:53 AM

Even after seeing this 20 years later, it's still the FUNNIEST war movie ever made. I especially liked the scene where Slim Pickens was being "tortured" by the Japanese because he swallowed a compass and they were trying to make him drink prune juice!! - @Wednesday, March 5, 2014 3:41 AM
