Zucker punch
I am generally not a fan of Zucker comedies.
But today's film would be an exception.
An ordering mistake turned good.
Val Kilmer and other straight playing heroes in the WWII farce
First of all, nothing dates. It is general untypical comedy for all seasons.
Two, Kilmer is funny as an Elvis kind of singer who gets drafted and there the similarities end except for the singing. Which is pretty good, actually.
These films do not linger. They move right along. So if one joke falls flat that next will pick it up.
I would not want to see this again. For one, all the jokes would be spoiled. But perhaps not. So many are old saws that they would simply roll off the convertor belt so fast they could miss an occasional seamless laugh.
There is even a segment about a cow udder. Tit jokes.
So a good time was had by all.
A 3 out of Netflix5.
