Good Morning, Vietnam stars Robin Williams in the type of role he plays best, as the hilarious, irreverent, and nonconformist military disc jockey Adrian Cronauer. Based (extremely) loosely on a true story, the movie takes place in 1965, where Cronauer injects life and humor into the hellish existence of GIs fighting the Vietnam War. To the enjoyment of the troops and the fury of his superiors, he fills the airwaves with rapid-fire hilarity, mocks Nixon, plays rock music, and defies the overzealous military censors with "unofficial" news reports. Williams' performance is brilliant, and as he would later demonstrate again with films like Dead Poets Society and Patch Adams, the role suits him perfectly.
The movie is so effective because it combines humor with poignancy as Cronauer's spirited humanity clashes with the regimented military life, the horrors of war, and the dehumanizing effects of conflict. He forges relationships with the Vietnamese people he comes into contact with, but heartbreakingly comes up against the barriers of cultural differences and political divides.
In one of the most unforgettable scenes, he dedicates Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" to one of the young GIs headed off to the nightmare of battle. With painful irony, the song mingles with images of the brutal reality of the war. In a sense, the scene encapsulates the discord between Cronauer's insistence on maintaining his humanity and the inhuman world that surrounds him.

Set during the vietnam war, Williams is a private who's job is a DJ for the base radio station. He brings his own brand of humor and music to the station, which the troops in the field are thoroughly enjoy; however, his immediate superioirs are against it. Good personal interaction story, many subplots, Williams humor is fantastic! You will enjoy the show!

This is an absolutely wonderful movie, both hilarious in classic Robin Williams style and emotional. I think this is Robin Williams best movie of all time, and i've seen all of them. The special features are nothing to write home about (Pretty much just talking about how Robin improvised nearly the entire first half of the movie), but that doesn't change the fact that this is in my top 3 favorite movies of all time. So get the special edition if you want the features, don't if not, but regardless, this movie is a must have for anyone who has ever even chuckled at anything that has ever come out of the mouth that is the one and only Robin Williams.

This movie brought back some memories of listening to radio in Vietnam during my tour of duty. How could any of us forget the loud "Goooooooooooooooood Mooooooorning VIETNAM! That was a signature greeting and brought many a smiles and a few laughs when they were much in need. I do not know how much of this film is based on truth or real events but in any case, it is great to see this man's work honored.
Robin Williams continues to be a comic giant! His talents are totally on display and he makes this movie worth watching!

Too many funny parts to mention- with a very serious storyline as well. "Leutenant Steve, Leutenant Steve....Why it's my good pal Frenchy"
