I've never been there before so I cannot say for sure, but I don't think this movie is an accurate representation of boot camp.

Still has a lot of laughs, mostly due to the stellar cast, but yeah maybe doesn’t hold up super great

Feels a bit dated and hasn’t aged that well, but still a good handful of funny moments thanks to the main cast

A brilliant star-studded military comedy carried well by the cast of Ramis, Candy, and Murray

A fun comedy with some of the funniest actors in all of cinema. Gets pretty absurd in places, but I think it enhances it. Really good movie.

A classic Ivan Reitman comedy. It’s a movie that gives Bill Murray and Harold Ramos plenty of room to goof of with, which the do great at.

A classic Murray/Ramis film. Funny and dry humor in the best way. Goofy and over the top, will have you laughing over and over.

Bill Murray starts his movie career as a jerk and he's proud of it. Lots of dumb jokes. The fun is waiting to find out what the next one.

What About Bob?
Before going on vacation, self-involved psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin has the misfortune of taking on a new patient: Bob Wiley. An exemplar of neediness and a compendium of phobias, Bob follows Marvin to his family's country house. Dr. Marvin tries to get him to leave; the trouble is, everyone loves Bob. As his oblivious patient makes himself at home, Dr. Marvin loses his professional composure and, before long, may be ready for the loony bin himself.

With the use of Rufus' time machine, Bill and Ted travel to various points in history, returning with important figures to help them complete their final history presentation.
