Private Benjamin - 6 stars out of 10
Spoiled brat joins the army. Spoiled brat gets some structure. Everything turns out as you'd expect from a comedy... or does it? Private Benjamin is a good film because it breaks away from the expected 80's storyline and provides more than a few surprises. The similarities in the mannerisms and facial expressions of Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson (mother and daughter) are eerie. The film's highlight is Eileen Brennan (Mrs. Peacock from "Clue", amidst an impressive Hollywood resume) as the role must have been written for her. Much of the movie is fluff but Goldie Hawn is endearing and worth the watch.
