Goldie Hawn gives a charming, Oscar-nominated performance in this lightly feminist service comedy.
March 26, 2009
[Hawn's] not so gifted that she can carry a heavy load of indifferent material on her own two little shoulders, without considerable sagging.

It's basically a one-joke effort, but that joke has Hawn throwing herself with great gusto into the role of a bewildered spoilt brat who comes good and her Oscar-nominated performance has huge charm.
November 06, 2005
Goldie Hawn at the height of her powers.
May 08, 2017
The pampered Hawn's reactions to rigorous training exercises, her interactions with her superiors, and a not-quite-successful love affair with French physician Armand Assante while on duty in Europe inspire plenty of laughs.

"Private Benjamin" seems coarse, sluggish and interminable as a comedy scenario, but the profoundly depressing aspect of it is that Goldie Hawn appears to be receding as a comedienne and emerging as a boss lady.
February 09, 2006
Another depressing example of the big-screen gag-string sitcom, it turns exclusively on a plot that grew from a concept that developed from an idea that somebody should never have had - Goldie Hawn joins the army.
January 21, 2015
Funny fish-out-of-water comedy with lots of sexual content.
January 29, 2004
Private Benjamin is a comic fairy tale with a delightful performance by Goldie Hawn.
May 08, 2017
This is arguably although unfortunately Goldie Hawn's most memorable role.
June 12, 2005
Funny, popular Goldie Hawn comedy set in army boot camp.

Mr. Zieff demonstrates great skill in keeping the gags aloft and in finding new ways by which to free the laughs trapped inside old routines about latrine duty, war games, forced marches and calisthenics.
