San Francisco Chronicle
What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Bad in such a bizarre way that it's almost worth seeing, if only to witness the crazy confluence of purpose and taste. - 25
Chicago Sun-Times
A perfectly good idea for a comedy, but it just plain doesn't work. It's dead in the water. I can imagine it working well in a different time, with a different cast, in black and white instead of color--but I can't imagine it working like this. - 25
Boston Globe
A throwback war movie that fails on so many levels, it should pay reparations to viewers. - 25
New York Post
It's not surprising to learn that the story -- which the press notes assert is loosely based on fact -- has been kicking around Hollywood for 15 years. It's that bad. - 20
The New York Times
Rarely has a movie worked so hard to be so inconsequential. - 20
Los Angeles Times
Let's hope -- shall we? -- that the "true story" that allegedly "inspired" All the Queen's Men was a lot funnier and more deftly enacted than what's been cobbled together here. - 10
Village Voice
The fiercely original Eddie Izzard is wasted in this botch, not something you could say for lucky millionaire Friend Matt LeBlanc.
