The drama behind the scenes lacks subtlety and Williams' tirades on the microphone just aren't funny, but it's well meaning and the fact-based story holds the interest adequately.

Robin Williams uses his standup comedy energy to craft a role that balances humor and heartfelt emotion in a film that is a lighthearted take on war life outside of combat. It isn't as blackhearted or anti-war as M.A.S.H., but Williams' fearless performance elevates the film's sometimes sappy script.

War is...wait, what is it again? This one has more than Robin Williams showing off, but I'm not real fond of it.

It's a little bit overrated, but still pretty good.

Williams is hysterical as the non-conforming military DJ. His on- and off-air dialog is so funny. I always wonder how much is ad-libbed. Bruno Kirby is also fantastic as the wants-to-be-funny-but-just-isn't officer. It's not all laughs though as Williams is faced with the realities of war -- death, violence, censorship, and betrayal.

While there are other, better films that deal with Vietnam, this is none-the-less a good entry into the war genre. Robin Williams does some of the best ad-libbing ever put to film, while the story goes much deeper than you would think.
