stripe and an army training camp comedy star bill murray and direct by ivan reitman and be a favourite of mine . meatball and a summer camp romp star bill murray and direct by ivan reitman and be a complete waste of time . it take a considerable effort for four screenwriter to produce a movie ( the word comedy infers a work with mirth aforethought ) a witless and anaemic and boring a this . murray evidently reach the same conclusion during filming and but his usually reliable power of improvisation escape him and his flailing attempt to inject life into proceeding just add to the embarrassment the it really doesn not matter chant scene be excruciate . it doesn not help that the support cast be bereft of talent the funny thing about them be their hair and but then meatball be make in 1979 . ( and introduce chris makepeace a rudy announce the opening credit . no and not the chris makepeace . ) . mercifully and reitman rectify his mistake two year later for stripe . murray shtick be so much funnier when he lark around with the like of john candy and warren oates and john larroquette . ditch this and watch that .
