One of the best comedy films of recent years.
My favourite bit is when he's introducing the platoon and he says, "That's Tex, reckons he's some sorta cowboy" and sure enough, there's "Tex" twirling a lasso :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Vince Vaughan doing warcries at "Chief" is another split-your-sides laughing scene, as is the bit where that skinny Spiderman guy drags the injured Vince eight kilometres through enemy lines despite the fact he's about seven feet tall and weighs as much as an Indian Elephant.
I might download it again, I literally laughed until I cried.

Found the action a bit OTT in terms of stunt choreography. There's explosions everywhere which without fail throw people through the air. Once or twice, cool, but I'm sure not every single grenade in WWII launched someone off the ground.

It's Vince Vaughan day!

Is it an acting lesson?

Which bit did you think was more realistic? When he slapped the first grenade or when he kicked the second grenade?

I think it’s fair to say Claret on a T Rex has an issue with the film :lol:

But what do you think was more impressive, slapping a grenade or kicking a grenade?

Don’t have much of an opinion on the movie, but what exactly is so spectacular about kicking a grenade?

It wasn't actually so spectacular, he kicked it away from him and his friends but (and they don't show this in the movie) it landed in the middle of a nearby platoon of his own men, killing 38 of them. The grenade he slapped away also landed in a group of his own men, killing the same number.
