Synopsis

Academy Award winner Goldie Hawn stars as a rich girl who mistakes the army for a country club and enlists in this sophisticated comedy.

Twenty-eight-year-old Judy Benjamin (Hawn) has been pampered, indulged, coddled and overprotected her whole life. But when her wealthy bridegroom dies on their wedding night, for the first time ever she must find a job. Meeting an unscrupulous army recruiter and reading the glossy promotional materials, Judy believes she can solve all her financial problems while losing weight.

Now, shocked when she discovers the real army, Judy surprises everyone--including herself--by transforming into a lean, mean fighting machine.

Private Benjamin is one of those films you can come back to it years after watching it and still be cheered up by its sheer brilliance and Hawns excellent portray of a middle class 'blonde'. The film really displays excellent sense of friendship and discovery of ones self, which Hawn discovers after her husbands unexpected death and joins the an army camp in Boloxi unaware of what she has got herself into. During her initial training we see great comical acting from Eileen Brennan who plays Capt, Doreen Lewis. Judy goes on to discover love in Paris with Henri, who is communist and must decide whether she is going to continue with her career or go back to the nothing life she had before. It must be said that Goldie Hawn is the Reese Witherspoon of the 1980's.
