3 for 'Mildly Entertaining'.
I had a lot of fun with this movie, being a sailor. Not only did I have fun pointing out to my father the factual and historical errors, but also admired Rabbit's excellent small-calibre detonation of the German destroyer's entire comms shack. I consider this to be only slightly less amazing of a feat than the Seahawk's journey through a fifty-foot deep Pacific Ocean in Submarine Seahawk.
This film is an American nationalist's wet dream. I consider it to be a World War II enactment of a GI Joe episode, minus the comedy.
Extra Special Quote: 'You're considering going up against a destroyer with only one fish in the tube?' Of course, because that one fish will Save The Day. We're Americans, after all!

I don't know what Glorback's problem is. Even on repeats this show makes me laugh out loud; the only other Western animated shows that share this distinction are Futurama and Family Guy.
Swearing does not make the show. With South Park, yeah, seeing preteen kids mouth off is funny. However, these are high school students. Not the nice dry-cleaned high school students on WB or TBS or whatever. For someone who's used to massive amounts of cussing in his everyday life, do you know how refreshing it is to have characters curse -- and it -not- be a gimmick? You might see it as such, you might live in a sterile environment and not be subject to these words constantly (and use them yourself on a regular basis) so who knows. Cussing is a part of life nowadays and just because it shows up on TV doesn't make it a gimmick. Hells, I have to watch my language when I go home to visit my folks. Comes with the territory, though, being an ex-factory worker (bad) and now in the military (much worse). =) As for the archetypes, who cares. Everything is an archetype on TV now. Because Latrina is a slutty white girl... it's not OK to have her do slutty white girl things? Or have Keisha be the animated world's female Mike Tyson? Or have Natella act like an insecure immigrant kid?
No, let's just watch Saved By The Bell. That's how REAL high school kids act... right?
You're way too sensitive. How many episodes of this show did you actually watch? Because your review made it sound like about half of one before it was too much for you to take. Bromwell is -nothing- like South Park. The writing is insane, and they should get some sort of award for it. Iqbal's dialog alone is worth watching the show for. There is nothing like Bromwell in animated or live action form; if it doesn't match up with your tastes, well, you have a remote control, but don't go badmouthing something just because your morals clash with it, or you made a half-buttocked judgment call on 10-15 minutes of viewing.
