Will Franklin Even as an Eddie Izzard and Matt LeBlanc fan this film endures a few hardships in providing a really great war-drama-comedy. Even from the outset you can tell this isn't a major motion picture, (and the fact i brought it for £1 brand new from a national chain store backs that up). Despite this, the acting cast do a good job, with a few recognisable faces making well acted appearances. But the big problem comes with LeBlanc, because his appeal is primarily to an American audience and fans of 'Friends', and of course, he isn't playing Joey. The lack of subtitles for the German dialogue also didn't help for people like me who don't have an excellent grasp on the language, and this film features quite a lot of foreign dialogue. Nether-the-less the film does deliver something quite different, and funny in times, so isn't a total drag. Its worth a watch, maybe when you've got a couple of hours to spare, just like i did today!
Sunshine_343 I mean, its not the worst film ever, but it's up there. I picked up this for £1 - yes £1 - at Woolworths and I can honestly say it was worth NO MORE. I picked it up because I like Matt Le Blanc - but not as an actor - and seeing him in drag was, well, disturbing. That's pretty much the only word to describe this movie - disturbing. You can forget horror films which have millions of complaints on the message board for being disturbing - if you really want nightmares, watch All the Queen's Men.They could have made this film so funny - Eddie Izzard and Matt Le Blanc? I expected it to be really, really entertaining and it really, really wasn't. There are about, I think, three funny moments which made me LAUGH, but the rest of it was so SERIOUS - yes it's about war, but it's also about men dressing up as women! If you want to see a FUNNY film with men in drag, go see Some Like It Hot. Stay away from this. If you like Eddie Izzard, then maybe it's worth watching. If you like Matt Le Blanc, don't watch it. If you want to see a poorly done, badly acted, disturbing film - watch it! And finally - if you really do want to see it, only watch it if it's on television or get it online, but don't spend money on it, unless it's £1 or less. Trust me, it is NOT worth it.
toffeesi Now, I think Eddie Izzard is without doubt the best stand up comic performer of recent years, I have have all his live DVD's / videos, I have seen him live on stage and I have even met the man. I think he is great, very very funny. But yet, when he gets in front of a camera for a movie, everything seems to go wrong. He is not funny scripted, he seems very awkwardly delivering lines and he comes across very uncomfortable.This film, in my opinion, was awful. It had so much promise, yet the comedy was either badly written (if written at all) or the actors just could not deliver it. I managed to watch it all the way through, but I was glad when it finished.I would back Eddie to the hilt regarding his stand up, but movie wise, I think he needs to take a back seat.
kitsunegirl ATQM was amusing, but what made the movie was Eddie Izzard as Tony. A few of his lines were so funny, you have to wonder if they were ad-libbed. Now, this is not the greatest movie ever made by any means.For one thing, Matt LeBlanc makes a very unattractive woman :-P. However, the characters are likable and the script is at times hysterical and at other times very heart wrenching. James Cosmo, whom I had dismissed early on in the film as being simply silly comic-relief, turned out an incredibly poignant performance. The female lead is sassy and strong while at the same time very vulnerable and traumatized by her circumstances. I was surprised, but pleased, at how strongly the story dealt with homo-, hetero-, and bisexual characters that all got along quite well. If you dislike either Eddie Izzard (say it isn't so!) or Matt LeBlanc, then you should avoid ATQM. Otherwise, enjoy! :-)
