A somewhat true story about a Armed Forces radio DJ in Saigon. I saw this on TCM and afterwards Robert Osborne says that Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) wasn't actually anything like the way Williams portrayed him. He wasn't funny at all. And, he was sent home, but not because of any wrong doing, his time was up.
With that being said, it was still an entertaining film. The scenes inside the radio station were hilarious and were also the most interesting part of the film. I found myself not caring about the female student at all. And, maybe it's just my movie cynicism, but I guessed correctly that his friend was going to turn out to be VC. It was obvious that he was saved from the bar.
Overall, I was entertained and Williams was great and deserved his Academy Award nomination.
