Rose: Where are you going?
Eddie Birdlace: Okinawa. But I'm aiming for this other place. It's a little country near India called Vietnam.
Rose: Yeah, I think I read about it. Aren't they fighting there or something?
Eddie Birdlace: No, not really. We'll just be there as advisors to teach them how to take care of the Commies.
Rose: That could be dangerous.
Eddie Birdlace: Nah. We'll kick a little ass, take a few names. Be back in a couple of months.
Four gung-ho Marine buddies are shipping out together in 1963 but first they have one big night in San Francisco playing "dogfight." The idea is for them each to find the homeliest, most unappealing girl to bring to a party and when the voting is done, the winner takes the cash prize.
After many attempts, Eddie Birdlace (River Phoenix) finally finds Rose (Lili Taylor), a plain pacifist coffee shop waitress. But when Rose discovers the game, can the two polar opposites reconcie their differences?
Others in the cast include: Richard Panebianco, Anthony Clark and Mitchell Whitfield.
Directed by Nancy Savoca.
Run time: 1 hour, 29 minutes
Rated R.
My personal rating: B-
