Movies are always a major source of entertainment and if it is a comedy film the enjoyment doubles. For many years Hollywood has showered us with various hit and super hit comedy films. Various genuses of comedy movies can be seen some screwball type, some dark comedy, many full of pure humor trying to convey us some meaning.

Comedy films history should always remember Private Benjamin with élan as it was a major hit comedy movie during 1980’s which even led its way to a popular television series. It is a witty movie with a hint of inner meaning and the viewers are bound to think life with a different perspective.

Famous actress Goldie Hawn enacted the role of a Jewish spoilt well-off Judy Benjamin to perfection for which she was nominated for Academy Award as The Best Actress in Leading Role. Apart from her, Armand Assante as Henri Tremont, Eileen Brennan as Capt. Doreen Lewis Harry Dean Stanton as Sgt. Jim Ballard, Sam Wanamaker as Teddy Benjamin also played their role to perfection.

This movie directed by Howard Zieff, shows the struggle of an independent woman trying her best to change herself from a spoilt rich dreamy romantic girl to a hard working successful realistic woman. Being a girl myself this is the reason for choosing this movie as the best slapstick.

Judy was virtually shattered at her husband’s death on her wedding night and decides to join the army. There she meets her lover Henri only to realize soon that this love life of her is short-lived too. The film saw a funny starting to the hard attempts of a trainee soldier to mark her capabilities in army. The film may somewhere look artificial. But Hawn’s performance in every aspect has made the movie truly watch able.
