Too much of everything
Sadly Over-hyped
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Damon Wayans at his best. No it is not a Dark twisted black comedy. It is light hearted and very very very funny. I have watched it repeatedly and also pulled up the best parts on youtube all the time. If it's not the funniest movie ever you will at least have a lot of good lines to use the rest of your life. Karyn Parson and the rest of the cast are great. Know wonder everyone writes a novel out here. I forget you have to at least write 10 lines. Really. Do they want you to tell half of the story. It is very very funny. You will not be disappointed. I guess I will have to keep writing for this line and one more so I can have this review posted.
Maj. Benson Payne (Damon Wayans) is a super soldier, except he has failed to get a promotion for the second time and gets discharged. He finds his killing skills have little use in civilian life. His only job is to command a local school's JROTC program for a bunch of ragtag misfits. He finds his skills are not really appreciated by the kids either.Damon Wayans is doing a pretty funny bit here, but it could be tiresome at times. The good part is the kids. They all learn a good lesson and we have a good laugh over it. Sure he's a cartoon character, but that's what we expect. Nobody is expecting Shakespeare.
My favorite movie of all time. I guess you could call it "dumb" humor, but hilarious nevertheless. Damon Wayans plays a killing machine in the US Military and is then discharged when "there's no one left to kill." He then take up a job as a ROTC commander at a Virginia school. From there, he turns the boys from "turds" to "maggots." The boys try to get rid of Payne any way they can, but Payne always prevails. After making getting some sensitivity training from Ms. Walburn, Payne begins to win over the cadets and successfully trains them for the Virginia Military games. I highly recommend this film, you are guaranteed to laugh more every time you see it!
'Major Payne' is a film about a major who makes life a living Hell for his small group of boys in the marines. This film does not really have a lot to offer, but it provides several hilarious moments that are well-worth a watch. Don't expect it to be a memorable film, however. Just expect to laugh your way through the film and at the expense of other people. The confrontation between Major Payne and the chubby boy were hilarious, and that's really all I remember about the film except for the boys wanting revenge on Major Payne. Again, it is not a great film, and it is probably best watched on a rainy day when you need some laughter.
