According to his funny personality and his ability to bring joyful and fun in the place, Adrian Cronaur, a young successful radio man,has been sent to Vietnam, in order to bring joy and fun among soldier, but when he goes there, he faces many challenges as he falls in love with a Vietnams girl.
Make no mistake about it: Mr. Williams's performance, though it's full of uproarious comedy, is the work of an accomplished actor. ''Good Morning, Vietnam'' is one man's tour de force.

If you haven't seen this one in a while, definitely consider picking it up again. I think it's a better film today than it was 18 years ago.
Levinson serio-comedy about Vietnam is first and foremost a star vehicle for comedian Robin Williams, who gives a manic, highly-charged performance as the real-life dj Adrian Cronauer in the early years of the War.
Offering only hackneyed insights into the war, the film makes for stodgy drama. But Williams' manic monologues behind the mike are worth anybody's money.
a story about a mere class clown becoming a man at the gates of Hell.

Good Morning Vietnam remains one of my favorite films about the Vietnam war because of its comedic take and ability to slip into real drama when needed.
It hardly delivers on the promise of giving us the pure, undiluted Williams -- Williams at his best. What's more, it's not even close to being his best movie. It's not even close to being good.
