A fun retro vibe with mixed execution
The quest to be G women
In a way Feds is something of a historic film. Because back in the day there ain't
no way J. Edgar Hoover would have allowed his men to have been satirized. They
had been used as villains before now someone is poking fun.
Rebecca DeMornay and Mary Gross are a pair of female applicants and they're
told up front they are a pair of affirmative action specials. No one expects them
to last 16 weeks.
Both women complement each other. Gross is an academic wizard who is a
klutz with the physical stuff. DeMornay is a Navy WAVE who is a match for her
male counterparts but lacks the education. They are always looking to impress the brass.
The film is compared to police academy movies, but it is hardly as outrageous
as that series. No outlandish or colorful characters are spawned from this movie as in Police Academy.
Still though it has lots of laughs and good entertainment value.
