Sgt. Bilko (1996)

Big screen remake of the Phil Silvers show has Steve Martin as the indomitable title role and Aykroyd as his long suffering base commander Sgt. Hall.

Bunn - Sgt Bilko, as in the TV series would be the spaceship that transported Rainbow and the My Girl films-Oh how I hate it. It's not big, it's not clever and it's so far away from being funny. If Sgt. Bilko was a country, it would be Australia and Funnyville would be the UK. Other side of the world. Sorry, I'm ranting. But I detest the TV show so much, I doubt I'll enjoy the movie.

Dave - If Bilko was Australia then the capital of Funnyville would be Erinsborough. The movie is passable clap trap but not a touch on the frankly brilliant TV series. Phil Silvers was Mayor of Funnyville and I mourn his passing...
