Strange combination of drama and comedy

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2020)

I really tried to like this film, but I couldn't. From the start, I couldn't get over the fact that it is in English. And not only English; English with a bad German accent. As a Dutch person that hurts my ears. For all you Americans out here; it probably won't be a dealbreaker.
Furthermore, the combination of drama and comedy in a WWII movie is tricky. It started off as a comedy. If they kept it that way, I might have actually enjoyed it. It really had a few funny scenes, also further on in the movie. Then the drama came. I felt the emotions were fake. They didn't bother me at all. For example, when Jojo experienced a big loss, he didn't seem to be that devastated.
Overall, it was a strange combination and it didn't speak to me.
