Once again the Americans save the world.
Historically rubbish. Token nods to British involvement but in reality the actual WW2 was made up of equal numbers of US & British Officers.
The script had no depth, the best line was perhaps Cate Blanchett telling Matt Damon his French language skills were bad (delivered in a stereotypical french accent. Indeed in every scene in France, the French characters clumsily signpost the move from French to English language.
Weak storyline, with no real flow until perhaps the last half how by which time I was waiting for the film to end.
Unbelievable, Cate Blanchett (attractive Parisienne character offers a night of fun & the Damon character turns her down).
Overly sentimental with lots of squirmingly clumsy Nazi kicking and politically correct references.
Bob Balaban, Bill Murray & Jean Dujardin were excellent but the rest lamentable especially Clooney & Damon.
Half way in my wife & I looked at each other as if to say what a lot of rot, and it was. The subject matter is likely to attract people wanting just a little depth than this film offered.
