Four best friends on their last night before they go
Off to war decide to make a bet on who can find the
Ugliest girl and take her out on a date. One of the
Young men finds a woman but is detoured long enough
To get to know her.He regrets hurting her feelings when
She finds out about the bet.They spend his final night

Thank you! That's the one!. I love that movie, I saw it years ago but not the entire movie.. I was really young.. lol thanks, thanks very much!

I'm trying to find that movie too. I clearly recall it was titled, "Dogface" (referring to the G.I.s and the ugly girls) but it may have been renamed "Dogfight".
