Not a huge Efron fan but he did a decent job. He just has a hard time pulling off characters being so ripped, it just doesn't make sense sometimes. That said, this movie was quite entertaining. I never believe dramatizations "based on a true story" anymore because I've never actually seen one stay true to the original story. Ok, ok, there are a few exceptions but it's really rare. If it seems too good to be true it probably is. I can't imagine this story is true other than a few loose concepts they followed. That said, it's funny and entertaining. I do wish they would have cut out the whole spin on the vietnam war. War is complex and you can't just vilify the US for it. Same with Iraq war there were certain things it accomplished but yeah, overall both wars were pretty crappy. I'd recommend this movie to anyone that wants a feel good story with a couple laughs.
