Sly British film is a lot of fun

"Two Men Went to War is like Gomer Pyle but with british humor. So it's a little more understated. The film is beautiful and looked great on my widescreen TV. Both the lead actors are great and Derek Jacobi is excellent too. Lot of fun this is the kind of film you'd see on A&E or Bravo. Definitely for the over 20 crowd."
A thriller, both comic and touching.

"A great movie -- I loved this -- both comic and thrilling. Two unlikely heroes -- dentists in the medical corps -- decide to "do their bit" by taking the war into their own hands. Many unlikely and comic surprises and the photography was excellent. It shows you can make thriller, and even a war movie, without a lot of gratuitous horror-movie type violence. The action takes place in 1942 at a low point in the war for France and England. Churchill's spirits are so low that his aides calm his spirits by offering to read to him from Kipling.
I agree that the English dialect (not the king's English) was a little hard to understand at first, but sticking with it pays off. (My copy did have captions for the deaf, though we didn't use them)."
A great little movie!

"Well worth it. Wish it had subtitles...Some of the slang and accent are a bit hard to catch, but a fun little movie. Loved it!"
