Film Threat -
Willard doesnt try to be great art (although if you really think about it, there are plenty of themes borrowed from Hamlet, The Birds and Frankenstein to name a few). Willard just is.

Boston Globe -
Wonderfully deranged.

|
San Francisco Chronicle -
A silly, snarling romp -- a fun (if you're in the mood for it), sometimes scary look at the life of a socially awkward man whose best friend is a white rodent he names Socrates.

Baltimore Sun -
Simply twiddling with the fine-tuning on the central character is not enough to warrant remaking a film. Both Glover and Willard deserve better.

Chicago Sun-Times -
There is real wit in Glover's performance. And wit, too, in R. Lee Ermey's performance as the boss, which draws heavily on Ermey's real-life experience as a drill sergeant.
