Plot: Hawk-like Marine Corps officer Benson Payne (Damon Wayans) attempts to whip into shape the usual assortment of misfit JROTC kids in this minor remake of The Private War of Major Benson. Of course, both the major and his pint-sized recruits have something to teach one another. Payne teaches them the value of self-discipline and instills self-confidence in them, and the recruits teach him to stop and smell the roses (not to mention the fact that kids sometimes need coddling rather than screaming). And, of course, there is the annual JROTC statewide competition, which the kids are obligated to win before the movie can end. While there are some funny moments (the major's exhibition in full-dress whites at a school dance, for example), the script seems too color-by-numbers to be interesting to anyone other than undiscriminating younger viewers. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

The Major is Major, the Sgt is minor
Added 10/19/2009

I got this and SGT Bilko in that two in one package. Well, things were exactly backwards to what I had expected. Bilko was was just plain dumb and barely tolerable, while Major Payne turned out to be enjoyable and fun. Damon Wayans creates a memorable character that brings lots of laughs, and then a story that takes comedic advantage of that character is built around him. Wayans is a good comedian with great timing/expressions. Bilko is just a ham sandwich with a cheesy wilted storyline. There are many funny bits in MP, and well directed enough to warrant another watch down the road. With the right script, I would enjoy another go around with the Major Payne character.

Product & Service Review
Added 10/12/2009

The movie came just as described, used but in like-new condition. The service though was not top of the line. It took a long time to arrive and it was just inserted into a cheap, thin envelope with no padding. I was really lucky it didn't break. Liked the product but not the service.

Great Movie - Great Price
Added 8/8/2009

I absolutely love this movie, and it's one of my favorites. I had lost the previous copy that I owned, and I just had to have another. I wanted to buy a movie that was selling for a good price, but was also in a good condition, and that's what I found.
