Valued social commentary can only be created by those assiduously invested with a strong predilection towards truth and enlightenment. Female soldiers stationed at a remote Israeli base find war a bore in this feminist service comedy that aspires to a modern day Mr. Roberts while barely generating enough material to stitch together an olive-drab Private Benjamin knock-off. Unlike combat-hungry Roberts, Daffi (Nelly Tagar) wants to transfer to Tel Aviv as a PSFC: Paper Shredder First Class. Rounding out filmmaker Talya Lavie’s platoon are Daffi’s virginal (and volatile) BFF who sees the pending transfer as a separation anxiety-inducing betrayal, a CO sorely lacking in interpersonal skills, and the ghost of a lovesick imposter who briefly interferes with the thought patterns of a Russian soldier. With no skirmishes for our wacky band to fight, silliness acts as a substitute for their lack of battle fatigue. (2014) — Scott Marks
