Can someone PLEASE explain to us why the critics didn't like this one? Will, Mike, and Sam take on a 90s classic film that helped make Damon Wayans a household name (as well as give many, many quotable lines) in the 1995 military comedy Major Payne. Co-starring Karyn Parsons (of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air fame), the film features Wayans as a tough Marine who becomes the commanding officer of a bunch of misfit JROTC cadets. Yeah...even with the military theme it is a bit paint-by-numbers. While predictable at times, it still holds up as a favorite despite somehow qualifying for the podcast with a low critic score (but the audience score was much better). At least the late Roger Ebert liked it, and that is one critic the Commit One crew can agree on as they take on this fondly-remembered piece of 90s film.
