Major Benson Winifred Payne, a hardened Vietnam War veteran, has dedicated his life to the military. When he's informed by his commanding officer that his service is no longer needed, Payne faces an identity crisis. However, a glimmer of hope appears when he's assigned to whip a group of unruly boys at a private school into shape. Through intense training and strict discipline, Payne begins to form surprising bonds with the boys and even falls for a compassionate teacher. This movie is a mix of hilarity and heart, driven by Major Payne's unique, over-the-top personality. While it’s packed with laugh-out-loud moments and quotable one-liners, it also features some profanity, mild violence, and references that reflect its 1990s origins—elements that may not sit well with modern sensitivities. Despite this, it’s an entertaining film for those who enjoy lighthearted comedy with a bit of an edge. And for the girls watching, Cadet Alex Stone might just catch your eye! With his charming, good looks and leadership skills towards the end of the film, he’s bound to be a bit of a 90s heartthrob. Due to the language, comical violence, and a touch of gore, I’d recommend Major Payne for viewers aged 14 and up. If you're in the mood for something fun and a little outrageous, this movie is a solid pick. Happy watching!- riruleza-156718584457over 3 yearsi like major payne because its very funny and very joyful and miltary style and school and greatful i just love major payne
