HIST American Cinema

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2009)

This is certainly the oddest and quirkiest wartime film that I have ever seen as well as the most entertaining. This film is full of ridiculous male characters, portraying them as incompetent, idiotic and chauvinistic. Because the only appearances of woman in this film were of them being objectified by men I can see how some may feel the movie is written from a sexist perspective but I feel that the film does quite the opposite by making a mockery of such shallow and narrow-minded male idiocy.
This movie is well made with good cinematography and acting. However, it's many attempts to express opinions and political messages is done so with a very strange humor, randomness and thick irony. I believe that it certainly takes a particular taste and preference to fully enjoy the film.
