Product Description

Matthew Broderick stars as a naïve army recruit looking for action—though not the battle kind—in Neil Simon's hilarious comedy about boot camp during WWII. The year is 1945 and Eugene Morris Jerome (Broderick) finds himself far from the comforts of his Brooklyn home after being sent to basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi. Expecting the army to be dolls, doughnuts and USO dances, he instead encounters a tough drill sergeant (Christopher Walken) and a platoon of often hostile recruits. Armed with only his sense of humor, Eugene is determined to leave camp with everything he came in with—except his virginity—in this light-hearted look at one man's determined plan to march to his own beat.

Bootcamp Wars

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2008

Verified Purchase

Biloxi Blues is one of Neil Simon's most moving comedies. The famous Simon one-liners are built into the play in the person of Eugene Jerome (played by Matthew Broderick as a thinly disguised Simon himself), whose voice-over narration is that of a comic writer looking back on the often excruciating experience of boot camp just before the end of World War II.

Eugene quips, speaking in retrospect and in the character of the young recruit, but more often he expresses frustration, anger, anxiety, or regret, as he learns to cope with Americans from all over the United States, some of whom do not share his outlook or sense of values.

There are formidable, sharply etched characters, besides that of Eugene Jerome. Arnold Epstein, Eugene's highly principled friend, is loathe to compromise his values, even if it means isolation, humiliating punishments, and confrontation with the sergeant in charge. Then there is Sgt. Toomey, brilliantly played by Christopher Walken. He is one of Neil Simon's most astounding creations, based no doubt on an actual person or at least a combination of real-life encounters. Toomey is by turns brutal, funny, just, solicitous, and troubled, a complex authority figure who almost runs away with the film. The audience can easily share the sentiments of the group as expressed by Eugene, that when he leaves they sorely miss him.

The two women, Rowena the hooker (played by Parker Overall) and Daisy the Catholic school girl (played by Penelope Ann Miller) would seem at first glance to be the classic "virgin and whore" dichotomy as an influence in the hero's life. However, it is difficult, despite her profession, to categorize Rowena, whose patience, compassion, and understanding incline her more towards the "heart of gold" cliche, but who is a unique non-stereotypical character in many ways. Through Rowena, Simon shares with us the tenderness as well as the hilarity sometimes connected with a boy's first time.

Every minute of Biloxi Blues is well-crafted and well-acted. I found myself laughing until the tears came one minute and choking back tears of joy, relief, and compassion the next. Biloxi Blues is quite simply one of my all-time favorite comedies.

WW2 basic training at it's best!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011

Matthew Broderick plays a down-to-earth guy who turns out to be a "Harriet the Spy"-like character--he records everything he sees and witnesses, and gives his impression on what his fellow soldiers are like while searching out his dream to become a writer, and to lose his virginity.

Christopher Walken plays a Sgt. 1st Class who has seen his share of combat, losing 73 percent of his comrades in North Africa alone, and having a metal plate installed in his head in the result. Now he's a fanatical drill sergeant who is challenged with a whole new platoon of recruits that he must train for war in just ten short weeks.

And in this movie, when you put these two characters together, you get a lot of havoc and military-like comedy, especially with the other soldiers of the platoon, like Pvt. Wykowski, who is an outspoken guy, but seems to know the wants and needs of his other friends, and Pvt. Epstein, a Jewish recruit who clearly states in this movie, "The army has it's logic and I have mine."

Daisy Hanigan plays the Catholic girl who attends school in nearby Gulfport that has a run-in with Matthew Broderick. She's in not too many of the scenes, even though the movie cover puts out the info that makes her seem like a huge deal in the movie. That's the only thing I hated about this movie---the lack of more scenes with them together! But it's not liable to lower the star rating, since the movie is still as funny as hell with the awkward, talkative, pre-sex scene and the drill sergeant getting drunk and confronting Broderick with a loaded pistol before he takes up his permanent residence with the Army Veteran's Hospital.

Funny and great movie! I was glad to have bought it.

Great Movie, Very Entertaining, Had To Have It In My Collection!

Great script, great actors & many great scenes & lines that stand out. I love Matthew Broderick & definitely Christopher Walken with his unique & very distinctive way of talking & walking and his awesome acting skills, and I loved both of these actors together in this movie. I had never seen Corey Parker who played the character Arnold Epstein before, he was fantastic as the confident geek who didn't take any crap & stood up for himself. In the beginning of the movie when Eugene played by Matthew Broderick said, "it was only his 5th day in the army and so far he hated everyone," I burst out laughing and I was "All In." I love dry, sarcastic humor and there is plenty of it in this movie from beginning to end, especially from these 3 characters. The scene where Eugene is having sex for the 1st time with a prostitute & losing his virginity, the lines he is saying are absolutely hilarious! This movie is very entertaining from beginning to end and I am so glad that I was not disappointed.

This is an extremely funny movie, but with a dollop of sentimentality and a serious reminder of how commonplace bigotry and hatred were in the military not so long ago.

Rekruten kurz vor dem Kriegseinsatz...

Reviewed in Germany on November 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bereits für seinen zweiten Film "Die Reifeprüfung" gewann Regisseur Mike Nichols den Regie-Oscar. Zwei Jahre vor diesem Triumph bekam er bereits für seinen Debütfilm "Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf ?" eine Oscarnominierung. Doch damals musste er sich noch durch Fred Zinnemann und "Ein Mann zu jeder Jahreszeit" geschlagen geben. Interessanterweise sind diese beiden ersten Filme auch die größten Meisterwerke in seinem Schaffen. Sehr herausragend ist aber auch der Antikriegsfilm "Catch 22", der zwar nur mäßigen Erfolg an der Kinokasse hatte - für mich persönlich aber Nichols beste Arbeit darstellt. Danach lief es mal gut, mal weniger gut. Sehr gute Erfolge erzielte er in den 80er Jahren mit "Silkwood" und "Die Waffen der Frauen". Von seinen Spätwerken wurden "Hautnah" und "Der Krieg des Charlie Watson" sehr gelobt. Seine 1988 inszenierte Kriegskomödie "Biloxi Blues" ist leider etwas in Vergessenheit geraten, obwohl es für mich sein bester Film in der 80er Dekade ist. Eine Kriegskomödie ? Wie soll das gehen.

Der Film basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Theaterstück von Neil Simon, das 1985 mit dem Tony Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Wenn "Biloxi Blues" in den Innenräumen, also in den Unterkünften der Soldaten, spielt, dann ist tatsächlich noch ein bisschen Theateratmosphäre gegeben. Aber Nichols auch zum Glück viele Szenen im Freien eingepflegt, die diesen Eindruck wieder deutlich reduzieren. Am Ende müssen die jungen Rekruten nur ganz kurz in den Krieg, weil die Amerikaner die Atombombe über Japan abwarfen. Daher kommt die Hauptfigur Eugene Morris Jerome, gespielt von Matthew Broderick, zum Schluß, dass die Militärzeit in Biloxi doch sehr schön war. Immerhin hat der junge Mann beim Eintritt in die Armee drei Ziele. Er will unbedingt seine Jungfräulichkeit verlieren, er will den Krieg überleben und er will Schriftsteller werden. Er wird mit anderen Rekruten ins Camp Shelby in der Nähe von Biloxi, Mississippi, zur Gründausbildung geschickt. Mit ihm wurden auch Roy Seldridge (Markus Flannagan) Joseph Wykovski (Matt Mulhern), Arnold Epstein (Corey Parker), Donald Carney (Casey Siemaszko) und James Hennessey (Michael Dolan) in die Armee eingezogen. Die Privates werden von einem Sergeant Toomey (Christopher Walken) ausgebildet, einem verwundeten Veteranen mit einer Stahlplatte im Kopf. Toomey führt ein strenges Regiment und hat es besonders auf Eugene und Arnold abgesehen, die beide aus Brooklyn stammen. Der Ausbilder hasst Boys from New York City. Eugene schreibt seine Gedanken und Erlebnisse in ein Tagebuch. Als die Soldaten Stadtausgang haben, verliert der Teenager seine Unschuld durch die Prostituierte Rowena (Park Overall) und verliebt sich kurze Zeit später in Daisy Hannigan (Penelope Ann Miller), ein Mädchen, dass er bei einer Tanzveranstaltung in der Stadt kennenlernt...

Natürlich fehlt in "Biloxi Blues" ein kritischer Unterton zum Thema Krieg. Vielmehr hat Mike Nichols den Focus auf eine melancholische Coming of Age Geschichte gelegt, die er aber sehr feinfühlig gestaltet hat. Die Probleme beim Militär sind daher die Probleme, die ein junger Mensch hat, wenn er mit anderen Menschen zusammenkommt - in einer Zeit, in der ihm gerade bewusst wird, dass er nun erwachsen ist. Im Kino lief der Film gut, er spielte damals mehr als 50 Millionen Dollar ein. Die Leistung des Schauspieler-Ensembles ist durchweg sehr gut, vor allem Christopher Walken verleiht dem Ausbilder eine gewisse ambivalente Aura. Eine gewisse Traurigkeit hinter der militärischen Willkür, mit der die Jungs zu Soldaten machen will.

Set in a trainee army barracks during the second world war it follows the training of a group of new soldiers

Christopher Walken is superb as the man to train them ,some times this type of film could end up like a Carry on movie, not this one its witty and sharp a film worth owning .

Still holds up after all this time, with excellent performances from Christopher Walken as the slightly deranged sgt Toomey and Matthew Broderick as Private Eugene Jerome. Matt Mulhern also deserves credit for his depiction of the thoughtful (and baleful) Private Wykowski. All topped off with the icing on the cake of Neil Simon's utterly brilliant script, adapted from his semi-autobiographical play written four years earlier in 1984. Enjoy!
