Incompetent Italian soldiers arrive on Greek island and learn to appreciate sex, dope, and football in the sun. That's it. Lots of scenes that you know are supposed to be funny, but they're just not.
If this film had been made in 1967, there might have been some excuse for the total lack of narrative interest. Having been made in 1991, it is unforgivable. The only decent thing in this film is the scenery. The plot, such as it is, is predictable and boring in the extreme. The male characters are all cardboard stereotypes, and the female characters are so thin as to be almost non-existent.
If you start watching it and you think it's maybe not that good, believe me it gets much worse.
It seems incredible that the same director went on to make "Io non ho paura" ("I am not afraid"), which is excellent. Just go straight to that, and forget this early mistake.
