Audience Member Empty watch, not watching again, and can't recommend unless your a military movie nut. Most of the movie felt like Jason Biggs hating his life and trying to get out and get laid (so basically American Pie without the humor or pastries, go watch that instead, it's much deeper). No one else is important, maybe Natasha McElhone (a fine actress), and everyone could really be played by anyone, that's how little they mattered. While there is some great material to work with here, they don't utilize anything, including humor. I would have thought I'd love to see a movie about a guy forced to live another soldier's life. I would have thought I'd love to see a movie about a facility that has dead soldiers on life support because any number of potentially good reasons. I would have thought a romantic triangle in a chain of command would be compelling. Plenty of room to push boundaries and play with the concepts of power. The one thing it really does that pisses me off is that it tries to wax philosophical with the news paper (like a blog on paper), the whole reason the guy Biggs is supposed to be is there, and wants to be "Catch-22", but just fails in the dialogue and use of the paper itself and the Colonel's reaction. Don't waste your time, there are so many better movies with...well, almost anything I mentioned in this review. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Biggs does his best to make an absent script entertaining. Alas, one man can not make a good film all alone. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Review: I rented this movie because it looked funny in the adverts, but I never found it that amusing. In fact I thought that the movie seemed a bit dated and the storyline was silly. There was quite a serious under current in the movie but that wasn't enough to make the film interesting. The acting wasn't that bad but the concept was pretty dull. Disappointing. Round-Up: I know that the film is old, but I recently saw it in an advert so I thought that I would give it a chance, which was a bad mistake. At the time of its release, it might have been funny but with all the Rom-Com's coming out lately, this is below par. Jason Biggs career hasn't really kicked off since the American Pie series and Natascha McElone seems to act the same in all her movies even though she has acted next to people like Robert DeNiro in Ronin, George Clooney in Solaris and Brad Pitt in The Devils Own. I recommend this movie to people who are into there war comedies with a touch of conspiracy. 1/10 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Forgettable as it is dull. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member An odd mish-mash that fails at everything. Not a Biggs fan. Tries to be profound, and succeeds at going nowhere. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review sarfaraz a Guy X directed by Saul Metzstein. It is based on the novel No One Thinks Of Greenland by John Griesemer. Starring Jason Biggs, Natascha McElhone. Set after the Vietnam War in 1979; Rudy (Jason) is a soldier mistakenly sent to a US Army Medical Corps base in the Arctic instead of his official base in Hawaii. While there, he feels dejected and lonely, however soon compromises with the situation and ultimately finds out that underneath the base a classified hospital ward, where the commanding officer, Col. Woolwrap has kept soldiers with incurable wounds that he led to secret mission during Vietnam War. Tragically big mishap. Continuous saga of yawns and glimpses of time-piece and ultimately the credits roll. Jason, my boy, alas! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
