Manthast Absolutely amazing

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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!

bob the moo During World War II, Germany's factories are mostly run by women. Seeking to steal the vital Enigma device, British Officer Aitkin draws together an unlikely team of men to go behind enemy lines, infiltrate the factory posing as staff and steal the device before their extraction. Of course this means them dressing as women – an aspect of the mission that only goes down well with female impersonator Tony. Made of sterner stuff, O'Rourke is not so impressed but agrees to lead the "men" into action anyway.I was aware that the general consensus of opinion was that this film is no good, but I was sufficiently intrigued by the title and the cast to give it a go. Although mob rule is never a good thing, it must be said that the majority have called it because this is a film that I found impossible to locate any value within. Part of the reason must be the writing because it is so very uneven in its tone that I was never sure if it was trying to be hilarious, dramatic or otherwise. In a way I think it was trying to be a mix but it roundly failed to deliver on almost all fronts. It isn't funny at all and the rare attempt at a joke fall flat most times. The actual plot is a total drag (sorry, I'm so sorry) and I was bored to tears by it long before the end. The lack of laughs brings the plot even more to the fore and the writers seem to have tried to make a serious story somewhere in there but it doesn't work at all and it is far too silly to be cared about. Ruzowitzky's direction doesn't help because it can't produce any laughs even with the jokes and visually the film looks too serious to do the job as a comedy.The cast can do nothing to improve the situation and the fact that none of them have anything to do. LeBlanc is terrible; miscast and unable to act he is lost in the midst of this film. He isn't funny or able enough to carry material this weak. Izzard is a very funny guy but he is terrible in this mainly because he is given nothing to do of any value. He dresses as a woman of course but that is not enough to do anything. Cosmo is quite embarrassingly poor and Birkin is no better. Fox ticks his cliché box yet again with a British officer but surely he could have found something better than this to do it in.Overall a roundly poor film that lacks laughs, dramatics or interest. The tone of the film is badly mixed and it doesn't work at all, not helped by Ruzowitzky's inability to do anything with the look, feel or material. The cast are mostly all at sea and it is hard to stop feeling embarrassed for them all. A poor film that is not worth seeing for any reason.

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! :-)

BabbitCymru42 As a die-hard Eddie Izzard fan, I saw this on Sky last year purely because he was in it.Although there are moments where disbelief isn't just suspended but actually needs to fly, this is not an easily forgettable piece of curiosity Euro-fluff.Erudite, surprising, challenging and genuinely moving, it gives all the central characters enough play to not just be foils to Matt LeBlanc's ill-at-ease, super-macho American.Overall, well made and worth the time and trouble of getting hold of a copy...
