Entertainment Reviews:
It suggests an overaged boyishness almost incapable of relating to the hard-nosed, dry, sardonic war films supposedly under attack here.

Artforum
A film so critical of others' attitudes should perhaps have given more positive vetting to its own.

Rating: 5/5 --
It still has an edge most films would shy away from. It's brilliant, bitter, defiant and angry.

Rating: 2/5 --
I am afraid Mr. Lester has not added a single discouragement of war, but simply a little discouragement toward patronizing too-pretentious films.

New York Times
Dated, maybe, but Lester's gruesomely black anti-war comedy still looks inventive, and manages occasionally to hit home with its blend of surreal lunacy and barbed satire.

Rating: 2/5 --
This war farce (about World War II) is just not funny.

Rating: 2/4 --
I got no impression from this film that Lester really, personally, cares very strongly one way or the other about war. It was only a currently fashionable subject, a good excuse to make a movie.

Product Description:
An inept officer is given the assignment to lead his battalion out of England into the searing Egyptian desert where he must construct a cricket field. A scathing lampoon of warfare.
