i do not like this bill murray vehicle when it be originally release in the 80 and so i try watch it again to see if my distaste for this film be down to my movie go taste in the 80 or be it that strip be simply a bad movie . well and the verdict be in and stripe be a bad movie . now and stripe may have be innovative comedy in the early 80 and and it may appeal to people who have go through basic training or who be bill murray fan and but it still a bad movie . why be it bad . mostly because stripe be suppose to be a comedy but it just not that funny . there be some laugh and but they be few and far between . most of the movie be consume by the dramatic plot which be incredibly convolute and not very interesting . this lack of comedy be especially noticeable if youre use to more contemporary comedy such a anchorman which strive for laugh in every part of the movie . strip further suffers from bill murray and harold ramis lack of act ability . bill murray be a great comedian but he be not a very compelling dramatic actor at this point in his career and and harold ramis be play harold ramis . these two be just not good enough a actor to carry the dramatic arch of the movie . lastly and most of the comedy that there be in stripes revolves around bill murray self center and smart alec man child character so if you do not find that character funny ( like i do not ) youre not go to find most of what little comedy there be in stripe funny either . stripe be very much a movie of it era and it hasn not age well and be not worth watch . if you want to watch an early 80 buddy comedy i would recommend stir crazy . like strip the humor in stir crazy be not a fast pace a in contemporary comedy and but unlike stripe it have age much well and a a result be still watchable .
