2015114 min6.1 / 10

A warm, gently comedic coming-of-age story about an Englishman's military service, balancing youthful camaraderie and romantic fumbling against institutional authority.

In this sequel to Hope and Glory (1987), Bill Rohan has grown up and is drafted into the army, where he and his eccentric best mate, Percy, battle their snooty superiors on the base and look for love in town.
