    A Fun Movie With Lots of Laughs and Heart - Ignore the Critics.
    I don't know why the Critics are putting this film down. I've wanted to see it ever since seeing the trailer and I am in the middle of watching it now and had to stop the film to read what all the negativity is about. It's a perfect movie for a Saturday night in when you want to pop some popcorn and relax on the couch. The film is well acted by the cast, especially by Zac Efron, who with every movie of his I see proves my one-time opinion of his as being a "pretty boy actor heartthrob from High School Musical who is all about abs" to a legit and talented actor. The movie has just the right blend of action, humour, drama, and heart.

    2 cents from a Vietnam War witness
    I was a university student in Saigon when American troops were leaving Vietnam. Because I was not in the US Army, I could not comment if it was a true story, but from a civilian's point of view, it was ridiculous for the US Army to allow an American civilian guy to go to the battles just to deliver some beers to his friends. If he did it in Saigon, while his soldier friends were talking a temporary leave, it would be more logical and realistic. But of course, if so then the story wouldn't make it to a movie. But I can tell that the night jeep trip from Kon-Tum to Pleiku that his GI friend took Donahue to couldn't happen in real life because it was very dangerous to do that during the war. The lone jeep would be ambushed many times.
