With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone interested in what war does to people. Nobody is quite who they seem. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 16 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
During anatomy class, students learn that war has broken out. Several enlist and are sent to Camp Poodle, for rookie training. At first the constant shelling bothers them, but within a week they are veterans, unfazed. Barker sort of volunteers to parachute behind enemy lines disguised as a nurse to get the enemy's troop movements. He's captured and sentenced to die, so his mates in the Airdale Army attempt a rescue. Will they succeed?
