Entertaining, not deep or significant, just entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2014)

Normally I don't care for the smug "war can be fun" movies, like the silly "Kelley's Heroes" or the disgusting "Mash" films. But this one was actually pretty good. Not too violent (well at least by today's standards), dramatic in parts, funny in many, tragic in a few, sort of a movie vaudeville show. Sure the actors are all mostly too old for their parts, and yes, they portray the monuments men as stereotypical nerds, but they are entertaining nerds. So if you are looking for an exact retelling of historical events, try the Military or the History Channel. But for just some escapist diversion, this movie will fill your needs.
