Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and history buffs. If you loved The Guns of Navarone or Lifeboat, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Funny with heart, intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

An eight-year-old boy is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II so he can bring his father home. The story reveals the indescribable love a father has for his little boy and the love a son has for his father.
