Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Good Morning, Vietnam earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Good Morning, Vietnam from the crowd. A disk jockey goes to Vietnam to work for the Armed Forces Radio Service. While he becomes popular among the troops, his superiors disapprove of his humor. Robin Williams and Forest Whitaker lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1987. Good Morning, Vietnam earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Good Morning, Vietnam. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Robin Williams sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
