Watched it when it came out and didn’t appreciate back then. Watched it now and appreciated just a bit more. It may take a few more viewings before I would ever to be able to quote it like many people do.
It is not. It's the first truly creative thing I've seen out of Hollywood in as long as I can remember. Watched it with the wife and kids, and we all laughed the whole time. I recommend not looking into it at all. Just go in cold, get over the initial "what the fuck?…" and enjoy.
I am unfortunately unable to watch a lot of war movies. Not because of PTSD but because they lack realism or are straight up bullshit, which I thought the first 20 minutes of that movie was. I turned it off.
I don't think you can miss with a kid at any age. At the risk of saying too much, this is basically live action Looney Toons. In the Looney Toons equivalent of the Bugs-Bunny-dressed-as-a-lady honeypot, there's a recurring joke where the female lead teases the male lead to try getting him in trouble with her overprotective dad. One time she drops a fork and then, when he bends to pick it up, she throws her dress over his head so it looks like he's going down. Another time she busts out a 30 second pole dance in lingerie with the dad right around the corner. That's about the extent of the "questionable" material in the movie, and I'd show either scene to my kids at any age. If they're young enough, it'll go right over their heads. If they're old enough, it's pretty tame.
Movies are inherently not realistic but I respect your thoughts on the matter anyway. Like horror, war flicks ain't for everybody. I'll watch any war flick with 70+ tomatoes.
What about 1917? Feel like that's as close as it gets to war "realism".

Last Voyage of Demeter.
a nosferatu vampire on an old timey boat. Was OK
I pounded out watching a TV show called Resident Alien as my mom started watching it. A good little show.
In the middle is season 7 of the X Files. Going that a small break for a bit.
Hundreds of Beavers.
10/10, would watch again.
The Big Lebowski

Finally got around to watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Leonardo overacts. Brad Pitt is spot on with his character. Not a waste of tim
Blackberry on Hulu was m’eh. Those guys really screwed the pooch.
I saw it in the theater about about a month before the world ended.
Great movie.
Watched The Covenant last night. It's no Jarhead but it's a solid Gyllenhaal war flick.
Gonna go see Civil War tomorrow for $5 Tuesday.
Took the kiddos to see Phantom Menace Episode 1 on May the 4th.
Cool Pod racing @SECDAWG !!
Unfrosted - Jerry Seinfeld and others on Netflix. Not bad, purposely silly, some decent jokes.
Bee Keeper
JasonStatham
Nuff said
I guess I watched Argyle recently too.
Started out pretty decent but the ending was beyond fucking stupid.
is this a porn?

this is TOF’s Sunday entertainment. Curious, How olds your youngest?

Watched Airplane II The Sequel on a flight to New Jersey and The Way Back on my way back from there.
Airplane II isn’t as good as the OG but still funny.
Way Back was interesting. 7 prisoners escape Stalin’s gulag in Siberia and walk 4000 miles to freedom, well, 3 of them do.
11 and 13.

The rest of the movie is just over the top fun.
your movie reviews are outstanding. TYFYS

That was good and so far away from my experience that I couldn’t really call bullshit on any of it. Afghanistan and Iraq are sadly in my wheelhouse.
Running Scared with Billy Crystal & Gregory Hines.
It was fucking terrible and yet I forced myself to stay awake and suffer through the whole movie.
