Kevin P A fun and mostly lighthearted approach to covering the Vietnam War, as Robin Williams does his best to lift the spirits of the downtrodden troops in Vietnam. Forrest Whittaker is very sweet and adorkable in his supporting role, and the loudmouth insecure lieutenant is a riot to watch but heads with Robin Willaims over the radio show. The film is oddly almost pro-war and jingoistic, which is rare for a Vietnam film. But to be fair, it is subverted with the finale as one of the characters challenges Robin Williams' ideals on the ethics of the war and why the Vietcong feel driven to do such drastic warfare in the first place. It's not perfect, but there's a lot of sincerity and talent that helps it stand out from the other Vietnam War movies. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Derek D Definitely funny, Robin Williams doing what he does best. Overall the movie is good, not great. Def lacks some steadiness as the plot plays out. But I love watching it either way. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Alec C We all need a bit of levity, especially during war time! Adrian Cronauer is sent to Vietnam to bring some much needed optimism to the soldiers over the air, only for his irreverent take in the war itself to rub some of his superiors the wrong way, in which they try to silence them. Funny with its source material yet realistic in its portrayal of the cost of combat, this is one of Robin Williams most iconic films that is not mentioned more then it should! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Ava S Good Morning, Vietnam brings levity to war with Williams' killer improvisational skills and entertaining supporting roles, but the clashing tones fail to balance effectively.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Audience Member the war in Vietnam takes hold and times are tough thankfully Robin Williams steps in as a radio broadcaster to lightnen things up and grant us the power of laughter Williams is at his best again here with his fine acting, emotions, and clever impersonations I especially love Forest Whitaker in here as well always making something funny even when the impact of the war lingers over all the soliders and the country the plot goes alot deeper than you would expect, too theres also a cool philosophy on censorship and freedom of speech; that people should be told of whats going on and not be kept in the dark nice drama intermingled with the comedy made me laugh, smile, and think quite a bit Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
