Some films are so bald-faced in their attempt to have it both ways that you just have to hand it to 'em for their chutzpah. On one level, for instance, it's obvious SMALL SOLDIERS wants to skewer gung-ho militarism.

Instructed by Globotech boss Gil Mars (Denis Leary) to create state-of-the-art action toys, designer Larry Benson (Jay Mohr) slips a prototype weapons system microprocessor into the new Commando Elite and Gorgonite action figure lines, creating intelligent, interactive toys designed "with the same rigorous standards demanded by the U.S. Defense Department" (perhaps the film's best joke).
