The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

What is amazing about this movie is that it was done on live television before it was done on film here. The live broadcast was very good, but this film is even better. Even though Andy proved he was great on live TV and on stage doing this as a play, this film goes beyond.For some reason, the casting department got this film perfect. A large and very good supporting cast seems to go perfectly with Andy. Even Don Knotts gets into this along with a lot of folks that would work in famous TV shows later on.The writing is sharp, and the script never lets you miss a laugh. There is no doubt this is Andy's best. He would also do a much more serious film called "A Face In The Crowd" and prove he could also do drama too. I prefer this film, but Andy is just great doing the drama and I suggest that anyone who really wants to know Andy well should watch both films.

There isn't much to say about this. When Jim Nabors played Gomer Pyle in the Marine Corps, every plot was the same. He did something to upset the Sergeant. Here it is one thing after another with hayseed Andy Griffith causing great pain to another sergeant. No matter how bad it gets, he always lands on his feet. As a matter of fact he actually innovates, making things run smoother. He, of course, has no knowledge of how the military is supposed to work, so it's often just an accident. Griffith is really pretty funny and carries the whole show on his back. His long suffering sergeant does a pretty good slow burn as things fall apart.

No Time For Sergeants is not a movie that comes to mind initially when one thinks of the great classic comedies, but it probably should. There is a 20 minute or so stretch, as Andy Griffith's country bumpkin character creates confusion, panic and frustration among an air crew and assorted Air Force generals and commanders when he takes control of a bomber flight's radio, that is flat out hilarious. The film, that has been funny enough to that point, takes off into rarefied comedic air and soars through the next few scenes as one of the funniest films of the 1950's. Griffith is perfect as the Forrest Gump like Will Stockdale, who frustrates and exasperates everyone he comes in contact with in the military with the exception of his buddy Ben, played by Nick Adams.Funny movie which deserves more notice than it normally has received down through the years.

Before Andy Griffith the movie star/ TV actor, there was Andy Griffith the stand up comic. Doing the naive hick routine was part of his comical act. One notable bit was entitled "What It Was, Was Football." In this bit he was very much like Will Stockdale explaining football . Naturally he was perfect for "No Time For Sargents." This movie showcased what a comic genius Griffith really was,and was also notable for being Don Knott's first movie. Later they would star opposite each other on the extremely popular "Andy Griffith Show." This is a very well done comedy about military life and I would highly recommend it for all ages. Co-starring Nick Adams.
