Rating: 4/5 --
With superb performances by Mr. Broderick and Christopher Walken, who plays Mr. Simon's nearly unhinged, very funny variation on the drill sergeant of movie myth, ''Biloxi Blues'' has a fully satisfying lif...[ END HERE ] of its own

Odd blend of comedy and terrorizing between Broderick and Walken.

Broderick acts with a beautifully wary exuberance, full of a puckish vulnerability and anxious, twisted impishness.

The combination of Neil Simon and Mike Nichols has the pair of them back to somewhere near their best.

Great performances elevate Simon's amusing and nostalgic tale.

...It has some marvelous moments....Nichols seems to have perfect pitch when he's working with Simon...

Suffice it to say it is suicidally against the grain.

Product Description:
In the second of Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical trilogy (with BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS and BROADWAY BOUND), Matthew Broderick plays Simon's alter ego, Eugene Jerome. This time Eugene is in army basic training during World War II, and his general dissatisfaction with military life is exacerbated by his sadistic drill sergeant, Toomey (performed with comic perfection by Christopher Walken). Eugene has three goals--to get out of the army alive, to lose his virginity, and to fall in love. In funny, poignant lessons, Eugene learns about friendship from his fellow soldiers, about sex from a down-home, no-nonsense prostitute, and about love from a local girl he meets at a dance. The strong supporting cast includes Park Overall as the prostitute and Penelope Ann Miller as Daisy, Eugene's first love. Broderick's deadpan delivery of his smart-aleck observations gives Mike Nichols's film many of its funniest moments.
