A less- than- stellar video transfer knocks this anticipated classic release down a notch.. Reviewed by Kenneth Brown, January 1. If Dead Poets Society is Robin Williams: Reigned In and Restrained, Good Morning, Vietnam is Robin Williams: Uncorked and Relentless.

Director Barry Levinson doesn't seem to mind one bit either, setting up shop and granting the manic fringe- comedian- turned- bankable- actor free run of the place. Williams' non- stop antics, hyperkinetic screen presence and verbal diarrhea are as divisive as ever - - even occasionally detrimental - - but in many ways they work.

It isn't difficult to see how a man like Williams' Adrian Cronauer could endear himself to the Vietnam War's jungle- weary troops and so enrage his direct superiors. It isn't hard to feel some measure of affection for a mildly rebellious but good- natured wartime disc jockey who feels tremendous loyalty to his fellow soldiers, grows fond of the Vietnamese locals, bucks the system in the name of truth, and learns a few hard lessons in life, survival and propaganda. It doesn't even require much suspension of disbelief to buy into most of Cronauer's trials and tribulations. If only an ounce of it were true.. When asked how much of Good Morning, Vietnam is based on his life and experiences, the real Adrian Cronauer is fond of saying, "well, I was a DJ in Vietnam," scratching his head, pausing awkwardly and shrugging his best "that's it" shoulders with a wry grin. Films based on true stories are notorious for bending, stretching and outright obliterating the facts, so that, in and of itself, isn't reason really a good reason to criticize Good Morning, Vietnam.

A problem arises, though, when you then examine the film as a work of fiction and realize it's sometimes little more than a rather indulgent Robin Williams vehicle (at least for the better part of an hour). Williams' performance is quite impressive, particularly when he sheds his go- to schtick and wades into more satisfying dramatic waters, but early on Levinson makes the mistake of letting the lightning- quick funnyman dominate his scenes too much.

When Cronauer first steps off the plane, he's already talking a mile a minute, doing his best to entertain his appointed chauffeur, Private First Class Edward Montesquieu Garlick (Forest Whitaker). It intensifies when he meets his fellow DJs, bubbles to the surface and gets snarky when dealing with the Armed Forces Radio Service commanding officer (J. T. Walsh), and erupts when he all but hijacks an English class packed with bemused Saigon residents. So when Cronauer sits down at the mic, his routine isn't an explosion of comedy or a burst of brilliance; it's just more of the same. Had Cronauer been an introvert - - or even a more low- key everyman - - who came to life on the radio, Good Morning, Vietnam would be a far more interesting, far more powerful dramatic comedy. Instead, it's an admittedly funny, at- times moving, ultimately effective three- note riot that gives Williams plenty of opportunity to shine as a master of improvisation but shuffles his best work to the second and third acts.

It lurches every now and then when it should cruise along; it slams on the breaks, getting too serious, too suddenly, and leaves most of Williams' supporting castmates basking in his shadow. The exception being Bruno Kirby, who kills as a slimy Second Lieutenant with a Napoleon complex.) Williams' most devoted followers won't balk for a second, of course. His patented mach- three wit, schizophrenic voices and delirious impressions, after all, are precisely what many of his biggest fans adore about the man, and I get the appeal. Williams is a comedic genius; perhaps one of the most multi- talented of his kind, and certainly of his generation. But his mania and hysterics can really start to wear thin, especially in a film like Good Morning, Vietnam where so many fascinating things are happening; fascinating things that are initially shortchanged when Levinson lets him off the chain. The latter half of the film, beginning with Cronauer's temporary suspension and climaxing with his impromptu street performance for a group of soliders, is much stronger than the first half. Williams casts off his more dizzying diversions while Levinson and screenwriter Mitch Markowitz focus on meatier stuff: Cronauer's relationship with a young Vietnamese woman (Chintara Sukapatana), his friendship with her brother (Tung Thanh Tran), the culmination of the conflict over censored news stories, his exile and ensuing turmoil, and the emergence of the film's somewhat preachy yet all- too- resonant message.

And, no, it isn't just "war is bad." The soundtrack is exceptional throughout as well, setting a pitch- perfect tone for every scene and channeling the full emotional breadth of what an average grunt would have felt listening to a radio program during the Vietnam War. Don't let any of my grumbling mislead you, though. I still enjoy Good Morning, Vietnam quite a bit.. I just breathe a sigh of relief every time it reaches the hour mark and becomes a more memorable film. It isn't my favorite, it isn't the first thing I'd throw in my Blu- ray player if I needed a laugh, and it isn't one I tend to revisit very often. Comedy is so dependent on a personal connection to the material and a love of one particular style that you simply can't cram any one film into any one category.

Some will declare Good Morning, Vietnam to be one of Williams' best. Think Like A Man Too Full Movie Part 1.
