I’m convinced that Demi Moore has an uncontrollable compulsion to show her boobies to people all the time. I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten arrested for public nudity, because it seems like every movie she does involves her being practically naked for 90 minutes or more. G.I. Jane finds her attending Navy Seal training as a politician’s ploy to give women equality in the military. We all know that women and men are not equal. Men are stronger and women are smarter, everyone knows that. So the idea that women should be in combat and that they can make it through special forces training is retarded in the first place – but that’s besides the point. Every chance she gets in this movie, Demi Moore is naked. Whenever she can’t be naked, she wears as few clothes as possible so that there’s always a chance she can become really naked really quick. This movie is nothing special.

One of those ‘niche’ films with a kind of low-budget, indie feel. It’s more of a portrait of a situation than an actual story, although the plot does still move along somewhat. The presence of John Goodman and Zooey Deschanel, who happens to be one of the most I-have-a-celebrity-crush-on-you actresses I’ve ever seen, help it along because they’re both such compelling character actors. A very nice selection for the DVD movie club if you like slow-paced, easy-going films.

As a stand-up comedian, Robin Williams is one of the most obnoxious people I’ve ever seen. You may disagree with that statement, but you’d be wrong. When it comes to being an actor, Williams can take on a serious role just as easily as he can pull off a comedic one, and still manage to absolutely slay on film. In this flick he fulfills both dramatic and humorous facets of his character exceedingly well, characterizing the typical edgy, sarcastic radio personality who is constantly pushing the buttons of his superior officer while simultaneously baring the core of a man deeply affected by the sobering environment in 1960′s Vietnam. That was a really long sentence. But it’s a great movie.
