I should just add that although I was in the R.A.F cadets at school, and have a brother in the British army (a Major, no less!!!) I have not been through the 'boot camp experience', yet still found the movie to be very funny. I would recommend it unreservedly to someone if I knew they liked this kind of humour to everyone else. Already I would like to get a copy of this movie as there were many many quotable one liners I would like to see again - as I said, it has the makings of a cult classic. Standout moments for me were the 'Little Engine Who Could' scene and Payne's "vision" whilst waiting at the station. This is achieved in part through Wayans' stand out performance, and the blend of realistic (Payne's behaviour towards his charges is apparently mirrored in some real drill instructors) with ridiculous (a 6 year old military cadet?!!) Also, the director's use of music is inspired - consistently over the top at the right moment (eg "Respect") to heighten the humour. Yet it still works, because even though they don't let on that they know, you still know that the film-makers are aware how cheesy it all is, and in fact I think they are gently sending up all those "inspirational" feelgood movies, without being offensive towards them. The story is by-the-numbers cliched stuff, but it is essentially played with a straight face - there are no winks to the camera. I suspected it was going to be another one of those parody flicks like Scary Movie or Hot Shots, but was pleasantly surprised at the way it panned out. Straightaway I was laughing at the narration, Payne's excessively 'war-ey' attitude ("The sweet smell of mustard gas" !!) and his voice, which you will also either love or hate.

Me? I had thought from the trailers it was going to be dumb but it came on TV and I started watching. If it seems dumb and you don't get it, cut your losses, switch right off and do something more productive with your time, that way you'll be spared an experience you won't enjoy.
If the style of humour seems amusing to you, settle in for the ride and you'll probably be laughing out loud a LOT. If I were to offer anyone advice it would be to watch the first ten minutes of the film next time it's on TV. Both these things lead me to imagine that Major Payne has all the makings of a great cult comedy in the truest meaning of that term. You can pick up two things from reading other IMDb users' comments about this movie: 1) It's not for everyone so chances are you'll either love it or hate it, and 2) The frequency with which someone adds a comment is slowly increasing over time. Reviewed by BrickTop 10 / 10 Unbeatable comedy for the right person in the right frame of mind. But when Payne is recalled to fight in Bosnia, will he leave the Corps that has just started to believe in him, or will he find out that killin' ain't much of a livin'? Using such teaching tools as live grenades and real bullets, Payne starts to instill the Corps with some hope.
A career Marine, he has no idea what to do as a civilian, so his commander finds him a job - commanding officer of a local school's JROTC program, a bunch or ragtag losers with no hope. Payne is a killin' machine, but the wars of the world are no longer fought on the battlefield. Major Benson Winifred Payne is being discharged from the Marines.
