An average movie

Honestly, I don't really like Goldie Hawn. By now, I have seen almost half of her movies and most of them were pretty average but, above all, she always portrays the same character over and over again and to makes it even worse, the typical Goldie Hawn character is always some kind of hysterical whining obnoxious chick who always gets on my nerves.

"  A recently widowed Jewish princess is convinced to join the Army, hoping that it will be akin to a nice tropical getaway. And, of course, quickly finds out the reality of the situation. A soldering process that eventually will bring the delusional diva down to Earth and mold her into a better person.   Private Benjamin is a movie that makes me wish that there was a law out there that take all of today's spoiled Paris-Hilton/Kardashian worshipping, Sex-In-The-City watching, entitlement-sen"
