Movie Reviews of Private Benjamin (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: One of the best feminist movies of all time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Private Benjamin is one of the best feminist movies of all time; showing that catching a wealthy, handsome man is not all it's cracked up to be. Judy Benjamin starts out with the belief that getting married will complete her. She finds out through joining the army, that life is about what you make of yourself, not how men or society judges you to be! I love this movie. Bravo to Goldie Hawn for making this movie! It's entertaining, very meaningful, and very funny!
Summary of Private Benjamin (Full Screen Edition)
Goldie Hawn wins the Comedy Medal of Honor in this box-office smash about a pampered, upper-middle class princess who joins "today's Army." Eileen Brennen and Armand Assante co-star. Year: 1980 Director: Howard Zieff Starring: Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennen, Armand AssanteA pampered socialite (Goldie Hawn) is so distraught after the wedding-night death of her husband (Albert Brooks) that she up and joins the Army. She whines, she pouts, she brings the corps down, until, of course, she gets with it. Eileen Brennan received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role as the butch Captain Doreen Lewis, Benjamin's nemesis. Funny and winning, the film takes an odd turn when Benjamin is assigned to the international theater and gets involved with a dour Frenchman (Armand Assante). Of course, it's all part of Benjamin's growth as a person, and the part confirmed that Hawn had gone from a go-go girl to a "you go" girl. --Keith Simanton
