Good Morning, Vietnam (25th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] Reviews

Barry Levinson’s Good Morning, Vietnam fits into the war dramedy slot between Robert Altman’s masterfully funny and satiric M*A*S*H and Mike Nichols’ darker and more surreal Catch-22. Good Morning, Vietnam, while making a few salient points about the Vietnam conflict, really lives and dies on the improvisational skills of Robin Williams and his fellow cast of zanies. The dramatic scenes don’t work as well as in the other two films just mentioned and sometimes seem haphazardly wedged into the movie. There’s no denying the hilarity of Williams’ antics, however, and revisiting the film on its twenty-fifth anniversary reminds us how truly funny Robin Williams was in his prime.
