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

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

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

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. Full Review

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. Full Review

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. Full Review

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.
