Sgt. Bilko | Year: 1996 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Jonathan Lynn Actors/Actresses: - Chris Rock - Steve Martin Close -- But No Cigar I give credit to Steve Martin for trying to portray a Phil Silvers-like Ernie Bilko. Steve Martin came close -- but, no cigar. Also, Ernie Bilko (Phil Silvers) needed his support cast to be really funny. Unfortunately, the support cast in this movie remake of a great T.V. show just wasn't there. There were some laughs in this movie: Using mirrors to make a stock room look fill, moving boxes to make it look as if everything was on hand, and the daily "Bilko" lottery. However, there just weren't enough of these "con-man gags." At times the dialog became overly boring and trite. This isn't the greatest movie on earth. Frankly speaking, I have seen Steve Martin a lot funner. By the same token, this movie isn't all that bad, and it could be viewed to pass the time on a rainy/snowy afternoon. For this reason, I rate this movie three stars. One of my Favorite movies! No, its not classy. No one uses sharp, flashy camera moves to wow the viewer. The plot line is neither deep nor inriching for the soul. Still, Sgt. Bilko is an incredibly funny movie that shows Steve tails> Buy Sgt Bilko at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
