"You can pass that pass right over here"

Yes you should see this movie. No you do not need to by this on blu ray. If they make it. There I got out of the way the questions I have when watching a review.

Now to the real fear about Jessica Simpson acting. It's not that bad. I would say it's below average but not bad. Of course I'm a sucker for one liners. So when Vivica tells the other girl "you have one one a pass" and Jessica snaps back with "you can pass that pass...Right here". I cut her some slack for her acting in the begging.

Now to the army. If you are going to watch this you have to ask yourself "are you familiar with bootcamp in the military"? If you are you will notice the same uniforms they were now. The ranks in the right places. They terms are correct. When the part where she was on the bus and it abruptly stopped I told my girl friend "here we go with drill sergeants". All the insults are spot on. Could be cause this was made in 2008 and i went to boot camp 2011 in the same fort Jackson.

I just want to say Vivica fox was excellent. I truly feel the script was terrible but she made the best of it. The girl who had red hair was a terrible actor but in bootcamp there is always one like her. Who is just so gun ho about everything. So that's pretty accurate.

I took of 1 point alone on the sergeant who was supposed to be a drill sergeant. Now I have heard of things like that going on when I was there. But the flirting was too much. His character didn't add anything to the script. It was a great story about his father but he should have went back to being tough on her.

Overall it gets a 7. The uniforms are spot on, the language is spot on, Vivica looks great, never was a fan of Jessica but she looks great and they did great with a terrible written script for an outdated plot. I mean Goldie Hawn private Benjamin is 1980. Stripes 1981. In the army has to be no later than 1995. The whole take a average unmotivated civilian and push the boot camp is an old plot. I've never seen an marine,navy, air force one. Why cause the army is the best hands down at turning people with low morals and character into people with integrity, self service, loyalty, duty, and personal courage.
