Only a few good laughs, no plot, and characters that are only mildly interesting. I guess it is to Altman's credit that this film somehow maintains itself to be above average and very watchable despite those things, even if I find it to be a bit over-rated.

Robert Altman is one of my favorite directors, but this is easily my least favorite film he's done.

I loved this movie, and it started one of my favorite television shows. While very funny, the sad truth of the movie plays out and makes it a great film.

It's really a college frat-house movie set in a war zone. Altman's "wall of sound" approach is great for giving it realism, and managed so that you can just about still hear all that criss-crossing dialogue. To be honest the TV series does a better job at highlighting the misery of war, showcasing the skill of medical units, and giving us humour without the cruel edge that all the pranks in this movie seem to have. The movie is just a series of funny sketches about bad behaviour in a MASH unit.

Very funny and Sally Kellerman was beyond fantastic, especially in the football scene. I also loved the ending.

One of the very best satires ever made, MASH is a wonderfully funny and intelligent comedy, maybe because it's hard to see this amount of great acting in a single movie and a director that's deeply engaged to shoot his vision of the screenplay, to come up with something original with the dialogues. The suicide ceremony sequence is unforgettable, a landmark scene of the 1970's New Hollywood cinema.

A better Robert Altman movie, but I think the television show overshadows the movie. Primarily due to the absence of Robert Altman.

It's certainly a classic of its time and the dialogue is incredible, but I'm just not a fan of war movies. They make me feel like crap.

This isn't the TV show, it's Robert Altman.

a piece of shit

A great movie (and TV series).

Wonderful, unique and funny - it's my kind of war movie, and the kind we seem incapable of making in these postmodern times.

I think you had to be there for this one. It is very aged, but it was amusing and clever in spots.

Episodic 70's (or 60's) relic.
