"She's in the Army Now" is an early 80's TV movie with an all star cast that looks like a blend between "Reform School Girls" and "Private Benjamin". Released a year after the Goldie Hawn classic, this TV film tries to capture the success of women in the military. With early performances by a young Jamie Lee Curtis and Melanie Griffith, it shows seven weeks of basic training in the army of a group of very different women. While it does have a cross of comedic and dramatic undertones, it falls very short of it being a drama or a comedy. Most of the subject matter it portrays (i.e. Suicide to bullying) has a very adult mannerisms in how they approach it for a TV movie. Most people who are fans of the cast and/or fans of military movies will be drawn to this film. However, things are not all what they appear to be. Proceed with caution!!!!
