M*A*S*H (1970)

I knew that this wouldn't be like the television show and that I should expect something less funny and more serious, and I was all up for that. The tone of the film was just fine with me. For a while... 

You see, the movie is actually really, really fantastic - only if you stop watching it half way through. What starts as a good hard look at a bunch of people in a place they don't want to be, suddenly turns completely silly at the half way mark. Everything including the football match and after is completely ignorable. Just silly, really.
