Though At War With the Army was the third film appearance of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, it was the team's first starring vehicle.

A pattern is set herein for all the Martin-Lewis flicks to follow: Martin plays a self-assured romeo, forever bursting into song, while Lewis is a hopeless screw-up unable to perform the simplest task without wreaking havoc (in this one, he can't even operate a Coke machine properly). Mike Kellin repeats his Broadway role as M&L's tough topkick while Polly Bergen makes a very brief appearance. Because it has lapsed into public domain, At War with the Army is one of the most available of the Martin and Lewis films. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Phil Hall, Film Threat
Silly, none-too-funny Martin and Lewis romp.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Sets the low standard for all the team's future comedies by Lewis doing the physical comedy and Martin operating as the aloof straight man.
