I worked with someone who raved about this movie, so I rented it, six years after it came out. I had never heard of it before then. I agree with everyone who has written here - it is the funniest, laugh-every-minute movie just full of classic lines and scenes that are so hilarious!

Major Pain is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The man who wrote that review, Chris Hicks, is completely insane or has no sense of humor what so ever. There is only one movie better than this and that is The Sandlot. But even that is a close call. Major Pain probably isnt a good movie according to him because he is in his 50's or so, and the humor of this would appeal to a yonger audience. Everyone I have ever talked to about that movie has found it hilarious and, surprise surprise, they were all young.. not in their 50's. So really what I'm saying is that if you werent so negative and old, maybe you'd like this movie. But you may as well stick to Rocky, Jaws, and Star Wars. You probably gave those movies 2 thumbs up didn't you?

Admittedly Major Payne might not be suited to the younger audience, however it DEFINATELY remains one of the funniet movies I've seen! It's not often you can watch a comedy over and over again and enjoy it as much as you did the first time! In summary, it's a great funny movie tho again, it might offend the younger audience. PS - Karyn Parsons is absolutely stunning in her role!

I'm sorry, but I hated it. I love Damon Wayans and everything but it was not my cup of tea. i was an extra in the movie so I liked it more than I would have ordinarily because I had fun recognizing people. Sorry.

Mr. Hicks, I was honestly affended by the way you chopped and hacked away at Major Payne. This movie is one that myself and many other friends, who just happened to be very well respected and even influencial members of the community in which we live, have watched and loved over and over again. This is a story about a man who finds there is more to life than war(a little bit)and who helps a group of "going nowhere" boys learn about the importance of hard work, striving together for a goal as a team. Payne teaches them they cannot steal the trophy, they must earn it. How many movies these days even touch on the point of good values and earning what you get instead of taking it. I love this movie. The humor in it is basic and simple and that is what makes it funny. Many people I know, walk around from time to time in their everyday jobs and at home repeating various phrases from this movie that make all others around laugh. How can this movie be so bad when it gains popularity all the time and continues to make people laugh. This movie is a classic as far as I'm concerned, and should be in everyone's library.

i thought the movie was great. being from (and leading) an army jrotc unit, i was glad to see hollywood taking a more relaxed tone to jrotc system!

I thought Major Payne was the best movie I have ever seen and I would recommend it to anyone. If people weren't so concerned with looking intellegient they might actually enjoy a movie that indulges the viewer in the guilty pleasure of laughing at things that may be off color, but nevertheless outrageously funny.
MICHAEL STANLEY | Jan. 22, 2000
This movie was the best movie I ever saw when I first saw it. It is a awsome movie and extremly funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't say any swear words since it's " Strictly prohibited", but GOD!!! Just because you don't know the difference between a good movie and a bad movie doesn't mean you have to pick Major Payne to rip on. It was a very good movie. You have to have a good sense of humor to figure it out. So, obviously........., I believe the movie was great and you guys have no idea what you're talking about. So yah, that's my review. Thanks for listening.
PAUL GILDER | Nov. 12, 1999
If killing is your business, and i would hope that it is, then Major Payne is the movie for you. Stuffed full of fart gags, mother jokes and more outrageous comments from the US army's favourite registered killing machine this is a non stop rollercoaster of hillarity. I defy you not to laugh out loud when Wayans screams 'change my name to pimp daddy Payne.' You see this is comedy on a higher level matched only by the magnificent timing and witty genius displayed by Stephen Lewis of 'On the Buses' fame. Killing is my business and business is GOOD!
RACHEL | Aug. 3, 1999
I think Major Payne is THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I EVER SAW! One of my many favorite parts is when he first meets the Cadets and he says, "Killin' is my business, LADIES, and business is GOOOOOOD!" That part is soooo great!! :o)~
ROBERT MCELWAIN | Jun. 8, 1999
I think this is the most funnyest movie in the world. I watch MAJOR PAYNE all day long, I have lost count of all the times I have seen it. The best part of the movie is when PAYNE tells the story about the little Engine that could.
DAWN | Apr. 10, 1999
This movie is the best. I watch it every single day you know why...because it's a good motivation factor for me since I am coming from a JROTC unit and going into the Army in 3 months. I love it. I wish I had Major Payne as my DI in my JROTC unit..mine are too lineinet to us cadets. Just because Payne makes fun of a blind/deaf kid doesnt mean anything...it's a movie you critcal fool. All you critics can take your bad thoughts about this movie and shove them. Its obviously you weren't in a JROTC unit so you don't know crap about anything. Payne is the bomb!!!!! ..."Can't you see I'm eatin terd"...lol I love that part. Major Payne fans right me
CALE GREEN | Apr. 6, 1999
Major Payne is a prime example of good fun...it just shows a funny side to the world of military special operations and is also just plain funny to watch. It is just a parody... I will never realize why you critics read so much into a movie that was not ment to be accesed in that manner. GEE, I GUESS WE NORMAL PEOPLE WHO LAUGH ARE JUST NOT UP TO YOUR LEVEL OF THINKING!!!
