The A.V. ClubNoel Murray
Williams is at his best in Good Morning, Vietnam when he’s pitched between manic and earnest: when he’s reacting to his castmates, who actually are funny. Too much of Good Morning, Vietnam, though, is self-congratulatory without giving any real reason for the applause. Read full review

The way the story line has been directed it's a clumsier versions of the plots of 50s musicals.
