Goooooooood Morning, Vietnam

Gooooooooooood morning, Vietnam!!!!  Yes this movie takes on some serious issues like censorship and the morality of war but it also has Robin Williams spewing jokes a mile a minute. That's like the best of both worlds right?  No. Wrong. At least wrong for me.  

I had a very sad epiphany while watching this movie.  Much like when a child finds out that Santa Claus isn't real, I found out that I don't find Robin Williams funny anymore.  How did this happen?  When did this happen?  

Anyway, I don't know when I stopped finding Robin Williams funny but I'm guessing it was somewhere between Aladdin and RV.  Yes I've seen RV.  Why haven't you seen RV? It has JoJo in it.  It has to be after Mrs. Doubtfire because that movie is hilarious.  But it has to stop before Happy Feet because that movie was straight up creepy (totalitarian penguins anyone?).  Although maybe it just happened recently and I didn't notice.  Maybe 22 is the magic number and I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22.  I don't find Robin Williams funny anymore.  Say that 3 times in front of a mirror and the comedy gods will reach out and slap you.  Or pie you if it's a slapstick kind of day.    

But watching him ad lib for minutes on end with different impressions, etc, was just uncomfortable for me.  And that is really sad because Robin Williams is a legend.  

Overall, of course it's a good movie since it's on this list.  But I didn't find it funny.  

Funny-o-meter: 3/10
