Review by bacrites

I probably would not have watched this based on the premise alone, however my wife put it on and we gave it a try. It turned out to be much better than I expected. Although a little long, the movie reaches a good clip once the lead character makes it to Vietnam. The action scenes are done well, and the acting was good. I guess I was expecting (based on the trailers and from the movie poster) it to be more along the lines of a campy comedy, and although the movie is about a beer run, and there are some very funny parts, it has a serious undertone and a good message. The movie does a fantastic job of trying to tell both sides of the our domestic moral dilema surrounding the Vietnam war.
