Jim's Review
John "Chickee: Donahue (Zac Efron) took an idea that The Colonel at Doc Fiddlers (Bill Murray) bar shared and actually did it!
Chickie talks his way through so many situations and with little luck he begins to deliver on his promise. As he reaches Vietnam he meet photographer from Look magazine Coates (Russell Crowe) who share insights and experience on how to navigate the terrain. Chickie doesn't like the perspective that the media is sharing and Coates is assisting in doing.
The journey continues as he goes into the depths of the water and soon find himself embroiled in controversy and so people think he is a CIA agent. This soon turns serious as he is running for his life and trying to deliver the beer!
The emotional and heat wrenching shines through as Chickie battles his way back to the real world only to learn that the message has been lost in translation.
10 out of 10 stars
