This is probably my favorite movie of all time. Kevin Costner's roll of Gardner as a carefree rebel pays homage to legends such as Marlon Brando and James Dean of past. Judd Nelson is brilliant as a young ROTC student "dying" to become a soldier of war. My favorite part is when they arrive at the parachute jumping school. Truman is a such a great character that adds great comedy to the film. And who can forget the drunk they drag along with them. What, he might have 2 lines in the entire movie!? Awesome! It all comes to the beautiful wedding they conjure up out of nothing down in Mexico somewhere. If you have never seen this movie, you must see it! It is more of a guy flick, but I think females would still enjoy it also. It is a great road trip movie! Magnifico!!!!!!
