Summary: So Funny It's Payne-ful!
Review: 'Fi, fye, fo, fum, what beanstalk did you fall from?' This movie is from start to finish hilarious! I have seen it a dozen times and I still laugh as though I'm watching it for the first time. There are some real good laughs in the show that will make your sides burn. It's not exactly Monty Python funny, but it's a real enjoyment. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't already had arthritus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A movie that former Marines can really appreciate!
Review: As you can see from the previous reviews this is a good movie that will have you laughing out loud. The people though who will really love this movie are the former and present Marines. Those of us who can be included in this latter group will find themselves laughing so hard that at times you will find yourself having to pause the movie to wipe away the tears from your eyes.
Damon Wayans did alot of research for the character that he portrays, which included spending 2 weeks will real Marine Drill instructors. It has paid off well, because everything he does, from his voice cadence to the way he points at someone with his whole hand is completely authentic.
So for all you former "Devil Dogs" out there, buy this movie, you will not be sorry.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great comedy for older children and adults!
Review: For anyone who enjoys a great off beat look at a Marine trying to be a hard-nosed instructor to a bunch of "misfit" kids should check this movie out for a good laugh.

I would definately watch this one with kids older than 13! Lots of laughs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY
Review: FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY for adults and kids alike I'm 41. I'm ordering my copy now. I could watch it over and over. I might even lend it to my retired Marine Corps Father who I know could appreciate the jokes or my young nephews. It's great to see really funny humour and not the garbage that some hollywood people call funny.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: a couple of laughs
Review: how do the Wayan brothers keep making wack movies&tv shows? now once in a while they have there moments but that doesn't happen as much as the wackness they put out.this film is another dud.the Wayans are like Jim Carrey&Adam Sandler i just don't get the appeal.all are very overrated.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Major Payne is a Pain in the a**!
Review: I didn't like this movie very much. I like the actor Damon Wayans for the most part, but I don't like this character he plays, I don't like his Homie The Clown character he plays because as Homie The Clown He DOES mess around, this movie had a terrible ending, the only part I like about this guy so far on the big screen is him as that ex-football player on 'The Last Boyscout', that's all so far.

I didn't mind how funny he talked and how cool he seemed for most of the movie here, but I REALLY hated the fact that this was the type of movie cadet kids would hate and a sadistic drill sergeant would enjoy.

I just hated seeing those kids CONSTANTLY getting bashed by that Payne and how the kids never fought back. And there wasn't even a happy ending with anyone of those kids as the sergeant being cool to him in the very end. In 'Stripes' with Bill Murray, it had a feel good ending for the soldier and the sergeant, 'Major Payne' is only a feel good ending for the sergeant, NOT the soldiers.

This had one of those endings that would make the kid only madder.

That damn sergeant laughed sadistically as if he hadn't learned a damn thing from that nice woman trying to change him.

I don't mind a movie too much that bashes someone or a group of people through most of the duration of the movie, but when it doesn't turn out good in the end, then I hate it.

I gave it 2 stars because Damon Wayans played a funny star and he had great potential as an actor to go from that guy in 'The Last Boyscout' to this sadistic guy who talks funny.

I wanted to see the boys get more revenge on him, tell him off more, and maybe all gang up on him, at least fight back hard to make him regret his cruel treatment all in the end at least. But no, they never got even with that S.O.B.

(and that's the bottom line 'cause Steveman said so!)
