I thought he was occasionally funny on MTV (he did one bit as Kennedy that had me rolling once), but I don't think he made the transition to movies well. I didn't like "Encino Man", I didn't like "Son-in-Law", and I didn't like "Jury Duty". I recommend this for Shore fans and those who want a good impression of him. Andy Dick is just as funny as he is on NewsRadio. The film is actually very funny and had me laughing consistently, Shore stays away from being too annoying.

Of course, a war starts and they get sent into Libya to help out the troops by purifying water if needed. Pauly Shore and Andy Dick decide to join the water purification unit and Shore displays a real talent for that.

Without having to watch encino man. movie#
During the movie they meet some new friends, Lori Petty (Tank Girl, The Glass Shield) and David Alan Grier (McHale's Navy). So they both enlist in the Army Reserves assuming they will never have to do anything. He and his best friend, played by Andy Dick (TV's News Radio) just got fired from their jobs and need money. In the movie In the Army Now, Shore plays another one of his likable loser characters. He can be extremely annoying, but he can also be truly funny. I know most people find Pauly Shore (Bio-Dome, Encino Man) to be really annoying. I liked the film and thanked God I was not in the situations that Pauly and the rest were in. Pauly Shore and Andy Dick probably grew up on Bud&Lou, but they do the routines with a Generation X twist. In The Army Now revives all the basic service comedy situations going all the way back to Abbott&Costello in Buck Privates. Pauly, Andy, and their new friends David Alan Grier and Lori Petty are in the Sahara Desert as part of a water purification team, water boys as they're derisively called by those in the real army. Actually Libya and Chad did have border conflicts for many years with the French attacking as protectors for Chad. But Libya and Chad go to war and like the Iraqi Desert Storm, the reserves are called up for a United Nations multi-national force. That extra money for attending those Army Reserve drills sounds pretty enticing so they decide to be all that they can be on the weekends and two weeks in the summer. Pauly Shore and Andy Dick are a pair of misfits in civilian life and find they have a cash flow problem. The Army in its infinite wisdom knew better than to activate our crowd for Vietnam. Back then though we were not side by side with Lori Petty. We were about as military a group as Pauly Shore, Andy Dick, and David Alan Grier. The group I hung out with I'm afraid, all people who were trying to get out of the real army and Vietnam joined the reserves as I did. It takes me back to my younger days when I was a weekend warrior. This film understandebly never won any Oscars and I doubt if the American Film Institute will ever fight to preserve it, but it is still a nice way to waste two hours.Īlthough there's a lot of people who don't like Pauly Shore, apparently you either love him or hate him, I have to say that I found this film quite amusing. I remember when our plane landed I just looked around and there was nothing only sand and thats what they see. I was sort of reminded of my Gulf war experiences when I was watching them in the desert. She sort of steals the show in this movie as Christine. She is an underated actress who can do comedy and drama very well. I think Lori Petty played a good part in this film. I would have killed him if I had been his drill sergeant. I liked the scene where Pauly dropped that grenade in basic. Watching military movies is fun for me because I often laugh at them and say that it is not like that in real life. I also spent six years in the National Guard and served in Operation Desert Storm. I am a Sergeant in the Army and on October 20th I will have ten years on active duty. Pauly Shore is a lot more talented then his critics would have you believe.

This is a film that is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, what I mean by that is that its a film that I am almost ashamed to admit that I like.
