      Highly recommended

      I watched it n years ago, and it is almost my favorite of the comedy movies. It's a pity that the disc that I finally bought was borrowed and never returned. The male pig is the cutie husband of jessica parker of sex and city. I didn't expect such a cutie's acting skills to be so superb. The dialogue inside is very smart ass, for example: A: what do you recommend me to read if I want to become a writer. B: the entire third floor of new york public library. ------ (talking to himself ) 'this...

There's no bullshit, and behind every conversation lies the indecision, precariousness, and heart-to-heart decisions of the boys during their turbulent adolescence. Two Jewish boys at the center of the camera, one who will become a Brooklyn prosecutor, and one who realizes his dream of becoming a playwright, the importance of this military life growing up is...

    Movie quotes

    • Sergeant Toomey: [to Epstein] I'm out there trying to save those boys' lives, you crawling bookworm. Stand in my way - and I'll PULVERIZE YA! Into chicken droppings!

    • Eugene Morris Jerome: [mocking Sgt. Toomey in the mess hall] You have a good meal now, you hear.

      [to the guys at the table]

      Eugene Morris Jerome: . I've got to make you men strong. Because tonight, we're going to march the platoon off a 3,000 foot cliff. Dying makes a man out of you. I died in the war, they cremated me. And they buried the ashes, right here in my skull.

    • Eugene Morris Jerome: Oh well, Biloxi was beautiful.
