djfrost-46786 Keaton is one of my favorite actors. I grew up with this movie. Good American movie but it's just an average movie.

dellamorte-44869 Mediocre; through and through. The tone is off kilter. Is it comedy or drama?!? It can't decide. So-so movie over all, just because it can't decide what TONE it wants to adhere to. Completely uneven!

Mike LeMar Why go out of your way for the Japanese' help if you're going to complain about it the whole time? One of the Americans asks why they can't just leave them alone and let them do things the way they know how to. Uhh, maybe because you've just sought their help, they're here now, and both of you have committed to it?

punishmentpark Hunt Stevenson would have been tarred and feathered for all the scamming he does in 'Gung ho', but here (for instance) his angry girlfriend is turned on when it comes out he lied to the whole village and played with their jobs... Sure, I get it, it's supposed to deal with various issues between America and Japan, and at its core there are only good intentions, but this movie really takes the cake when it comes to suspending disbelief.I must admit that the film has its charms, and even if Michael Keaton hams it up to the max, he still gets away with it - most of the time. The Japanese were über-stereotypical to the point of being very annoying, and some of the Americans, too. Oh, well...Certainly not a good movie, but somehow it wasn't very hard to sit this one out. 5 out of 10.
