All the Queen's Men
All the Queen's Menhas the makings of a broad comedy--in  particular, it features men in dresses. At the height of World War II,  American agent Matt LeBlanc (Lost in Space, the TV seriesFriends) leads an oddball team behind enemy lines to steal a Nazi  code-making machine; the trick is, the factory where the machines are made  is entirely staffed by women, and so the team has to go in drag. But  despite this seemingly farcical premise,All the Queen's Menis  strongest in its dramatic elements, such as a scene in which the team is  delayed when Allied airplanes bomb Berlin, forcing the undercover  operatives to see the havoc of war from the other side. LeBlanc is the  weak link; the rest of the team (David Birkin, James Cosmo, and brilliant  comedian/transvestiteEddie Izzard) navigate the film's unstable tone and  numerous implausibilities with considerably greater skill.--Bret  Fetzer
