December 10, 2011This was the type of film I thoroughly enjoyed when I was younger. Now looking back, I can't believe the crap I enjoyed when I was young. In the Army Now is a horrible film with a terrible cast. Pauly Shore made two fairly comical films, but unfortunately for him, with this one h... read more

August 15, 2009I didn't ever see "In The Army Now" until a few weeks ago. I didn't ever think it would be that good of a movie, but after watching it I found out I was wrong. Two guys who have nothing else to do decide to join the army and that's when the fun begins. They are both thought of as... read more

April 1, 2010fb25827189I really can't keep a straight face as I sit here and try to tell you about this movie, and wither or not you should watch this.
Should you? Yes, it is actually not that bad of a film. However it isn't that good either.
Pauly Shore is in my opinion, slightly underrated as a come... read more -

August 11, 2010"In the Army Now" is a guilty pleasure of mine. Actually, any Pauly Shore movie is, but especially this one. I grew up watching "In the Army Now" and it's one that I'll also enjoy watching. Pauly Shore is his crazy self and there are many quotable lines in the film. Andy Dick, Lo... read more

January 22, 2010I don't remember this movie. I like Son in Law as my go-to Pauly Shore flick.
..Doesn't everyone have a go-to Pauly Shore flick?

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Every promising situation -- Shore suffering through basic training, dealing with real battle and so on -- suffers immediate creative fatigue. Full Review
January 1, 2000
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
It's a tale as old as the jokes, which were already old when the Peloponnesians went to war. Full Review
January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The screenplay, work by five writers, based on a story by three others, seems to have been rewritten often enough that any individuality has been lost. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Shore's character -- an immature, SoCal mall rat--may have been tolerable introducing videos on MTV, but 90 straight minutes of his lackadaisical schtick borders on torture. Full Review

Should be discharged

John Wirt, Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
A good reason to go AWOL.

Blake Davis, KFOR Channel 4 News
Not even as good as Bio-Dome, and I never thought I would ever say that in my life.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
It stars Pauly Shore. 'Nuff said.
