   3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this M*A*S*H review helpful I remember watchign M*A*S*H when I was a kid--it was the only show Mom would let me stay up past bedtime for. I watched it because I liked army men--I didn't know it was a field hospital. I recently got back into watching the show and have enjoyed it immensely. When I saw that the local library had the movie I had to watch it.
   The movie was very diappointing. Donald Sutherland sleepwalks through Hawkeye's role, displaying none of Alan Alda's charisma or mischievous comic genius. Elliot Gould is equally flat and unfunny as Trapper John, sporting a handlebar moustace reminiscent of Ben Stiller's in Happy Gilmore. The actor playing Blake (So forgettable, I can't recall his name) was flat, detatched, devoid of emotion and disconnected from reality, and Sally Kellerman in her portrayal of Major "Hot Lips" Houlihan was far too vulnerable to be believable--Loretta Swit's Houlihan would have had Hawkeye's guts for garters!
   The actors all seemed flat and one-dimensional, with none of the humanity that made them so endearing in the series.
   Other than that, it wasn't bad. ...
