Editorial Review:
Goldie Hawn brings her charm and joy-buzzer appeal to two hilarious comedies. She's Judy Benjamin, make that Private Benjamin, who finds the U.S. Army doesn't quite offer the country-club atmosphere she expected. Oscar nominations went to Hawn (for 1980 Best Actress), costar Eileen Brennan (Supporting Actress) and Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer and Harvey Miller (Original Screenplay). And ditzy cocktail waitress Sunny Davis (Hawn) finds that diplomatic immunity is not a vaccination as she brings uncommon sense to Washington and upends the rules of Protocol. Politics were never so much fun!
Private Benjamin/Protocol Reviews:
Private Benjamin/Protocol (Double Feature) 
2009-12-03 - Nice job. Two funny flicks together. I got one for myself and one as a gift for christmas. I know they will love it also. Thank you.
Private Benjamin/Protocol 
2009-09-28 - Fun movies to watch even though they are edited down. Hawn makes simple things look like fun and her dipsy character is so simple and forthright.
Private Benjamin/Protocol
Double Trouble from Goldie 
2009-09-16 - I didn't realize how much the TV had to edit from Private Benjamin and so was disappointed with the language in the movie... The Library in town got it. Protocol had only a couple of areas that needed cleaning up. Hawn makes simple things look like fun and her dipsy character is so simple and forthright.
Goldie is Golden
2009-08-25 - Goldie Hawn is a very under-rated comedienne. These two movies show her at her best. No one plays the naive, dipsy female with wells of hidden talents and abilities like Goldie. In "Private Benjamin" she goes from a pampered, inept & vain "Jewish Princess" to a confident, accomplished woman. In "Protocol", she is a naive, country-bumpkin who masters the art of diplomacy; easily out-shining the seasoned professionals. These movies have many laugh-out-loud moments. More importantly, society's underestimation of women's capabilities and the empowerment of women are subtle under-lying threads in these films. Get them and enjoy them with your daughters and grand-daughters (your sons and grand-soons, too!). P.S. They make great Date Night films.
Double Fun - Good vs Bad
2008-03-29 - Too many of the doubled up DVD sets contain one 'good film' with one 'sad second film'. In this case, both of these Goldie Hawn classics are worth owning, which make the combo pack a perfect addition to any collection.
