Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone interested in what war does to people and fans of a well-timed joke, this one's for you. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to Kelly's Heroes or Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
The mood
Light and funny, intense.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A cinema remake of the classic sitcom Dad's Army (1968). The Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard platoon deal with a visiting female journalist and a German spy as World War II draws to its conclusion.
