---|---|---|---|
United States | Chicago Tribune | "The film would be funnier and more provocative if it took a stronger stand on one side or the other, but Howard chooses to hedge his bets, selecting an ending that celebrates brotherhood" | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "'Gung Ho' goes after that ever-so-elusive Capra-esque spirit of communal triumph over adversity, but both sides too often verge on stereotypes for this to pay off as richly as it should." | NEU |
United States | Variety | "Drawn from real life, the conflict between cultures is good for both a laugh and a sober thought along the way." | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "I think the fault is in the screenplay, which tells a story that can be predicted almost from the opening frames (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "It's more cheerful than funny, and so insistently ungrudging about Americans and Japanese alike that its satire cuts like a wet sponge." | NEG |
