The mid-1980s signaled a Vietnam revival in American cinema, and "Good Morning, Vietnam" was Barry Levinson's contribution.
Though boasting a pretty decent and characteristically hyper performance by Robin Williams, the movie over all is fairly forgettable, mostly because Levinson has always specialized in fuzzy, safe films that don't have anything by which to distinguish them.
Like many of the other Vietnam movies that came out around the same time, this one has a great soundtrack.
Williams received an Academy Award nomination for his performance.
Grade: C+
