Goldie Hawn gives a charming, Oscar-nominated performance in this lightly feminist service comedy.

[Hawn's] not so gifted that she can carry a heavy load of indifferent material on her own two little shoulders, without considerable sagging.

Variety
Within the limitations of the genre, this story of private Benjamin ends up being entertaining at times. It doesn't add anything new, but it brings to us a new and special performance from the brilliant actress Goldie Hawn. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Mr. Zieff demonstrates great skill in keeping the gags aloft and in finding new ways by which to free the laughs trapped inside old routines about latrine duty, war games, forced marches and calisthenics.

This is arguably although unfortunately Goldie Hawn's most memorable role.

Goldie Hawn at the height of her powers.

Rating: 2/4 --
The pampered Hawn's reactions to rigorous training exercises, her interactions with her superiors, and a not-quite-successful love affair with French physician Armand Assante while on duty in Europe inspire plenty of laughs.

Product Description:
After the surprise termination of her second marriage, a spoiled Jewish princess joins the Army. Thanks to the doublecrossing recruiter who will do anything to enlist her, she expects her hitch to be a vacation. It's... not.
Plot Synopsis:
After Judy Benjamin's husband dies on their wedding night, the ditzy Jewish American Princess decides to enlist in the army. Of course, she's been misled by an unscrupulous recruiter, and expects a tropical vacation and other niceties. Benjamin instantly receives a reality check during basic training, conducted by the snarling Capt. Doreen Lewis, who revels in cutting the spoiled snob down to size. But as Private Benjamin endures the rigors of the military, she gradually becomes transformed into a disciplined soldier -- and woman.
