5.0 out of 5 stars ONIONHEAD, March 19, 2001
This review is from: Onionhead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This classic had me rolling in laughter. I am a retired coastie and it brought back some wonderful memories. I could never have a cinnamon roll again without thinking of this movie and two great actors. Walter Mathau as a veteran cook with a drinking problem and Andy Griffin as his understudy and protector is superb casting. The movie gives a small sample of the Coast Guard's entry and roll at sea, at the start of WWII. I can't wait to acquire a new copy on tape. The first time I viewed this was on a Cutter at sea in the Atlantic. The whole crew loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars VHS Movie, February 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Onionhead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Good Andy Griffith movie. Holliweird misrepresented the movie as a comedy, however it is one of a very few U.S. Coast Guard movies. Another unusual feature about the movie is there is a moral to the story and the main character owns up to his mistakes and takes responsibility.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not A Real Comedy, October 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Onionhead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Back in 1958 I was just a 9 year old boy. Never got the chance to watch Onionhead in the Movies. Since I loved No Time for Sergeants, I thought Onionhead would be kinda on the same level. The movie did have some funny moments but, all in all it wasn't a real comedy. I actually purchased Onionhead on VHS Video tape to convert it to DVD. While I watched it I was disappointed about it not being as funny as I was hoping it would be. It may not be as funny as I was hoping for but, the Movie does a moral question for the main character about the right thing to do. Of course he does the right thing in the end! To sum it up I liked it but, didn't love it!
