PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Donna Barr If you're not a complete European-Theater WWII geek like me, you won't get half the hard work, attention to detail, and humor of this film. And you probably won't enjoy it much. There's another review here trying to put it into a box - "Comedy? Drama? Espionage" - but anybody with any sense knows those are just American marketing genres, used by lazy agents and publishers. Don't get me started. Now we've talked about the reviewer's attitude, on to the review:Okay, how come the goofiest movies have the BEST costumes, sets (indoor and outdoor, including buildings), technologies, cars, weapons - and even a JU 52 that flies? And a social message about how women have to survive in a fully masculinized society. Did anybody know Eddy Izzard could speak German like that? There's no "Achtung!" or "'raus!" lines in this one - the German speakers speak fast and at length, and there are some wild puns on the move. "We're not loose women," followed by "And we're the tough guys," in German is literally, "We're not light girls," followed by "And we're the heavy boys." German women actually do have a tradition of defending themselves with fast talk, and in a patriarchal society like the Third Reich, this movie demonstrates how much they had to. The scene in the factory, with all the women, from many different countries, getting their speech translated by a delighted young man, is priceless. And yes, many people went to Germany for a job during the war - just like they come to the United States during our wars. Don't start imagining your own present-day costumes and uniforms and security for this movie, if you're an American; you will seriously get the willies.Combat scenes: In this movie, when people have been in combat they come out looking like crap instead of just slightly rumpled. Speaking of, nobody ignores how a European sewer actually smells. There is gagging.And yeah, the movie crew built the German tanks - but at least they're based on the real ones, instead of some flat Swedish thing with an Iron Cross painted on the side.If you want to see all the parts of an Enigma machine scattered on a scarf... Poor Matt LaBlanc - his face just sticks him with these roles forever; he can never play anything but Joey. Somebody must have included the last scene with the Red Tab for his grandfather. Nothing could have made a front-line British soldier happier than watching an old British sergeant finally paste a self-satisfied upper-class British General in the face. Shout-out to Granddad!

Glam_rocker Brilliant I had bought this off HMV and after reading so many reviews I was expecting an awful movie but to my surprise it is brilliant. Eddie Izzard is fantastic in this movie. His relationship with Franz is brilliant you can sort of feel a connection. Matt LeBlanc is not too bad in this movie but I believe he could of done a much better job. David Birkin is fantastic. He really suited his character and portrayed him extremely well. Most of the reviews are comparing this movie to "Privates on parade" which is stupid. Privates on parade is an awful movie. I watch it as John Clesse was in it but he hardly said anything. This movie is nothing like Privates on Parade this movie is fantastic. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is an Eddie Izzard fan. His character in this movie is brilliant.

Will Franklin Even as an Eddie Izzard and Matt LeBlanc fan this film endures a few hardships in providing a really great war-drama-comedy. Even from the outset you can tell this isn't a major motion picture, (and the fact i brought it for £1 brand new from a national chain store backs that up). Despite this, the acting cast do a good job, with a few recognisable faces making well acted appearances. But the big problem comes with LeBlanc, because his appeal is primarily to an American audience and fans of 'Friends', and of course, he isn't playing Joey. The lack of subtitles for the German dialogue also didn't help for people like me who don't have an excellent grasp on the language, and this film features quite a lot of foreign dialogue. Nether-the-less the film does deliver something quite different, and funny in times, so isn't a total drag. Its worth a watch, maybe when you've got a couple of hours to spare, just like i did today!

FactoryGirl I can't believe I forced my friend to watch this film with me. I don't intentionally pick crappy movies. It's just that some actors I like are in crappy movies. I bought ATQM because Eddie Izzard is in it and I'm EI mad at the moment. I also bought The Avengers because he's in it but that's another tale of woe....In ATQM, Eddie plays a drag queen who has to teach a group of men to be women so they can steal an Enigma machine from a German factory where only women work. Eddie is the only one who looks comfortable in a dress. Although I don't think brown is his color. He gets to show off his legs and his German but it's not enough to lift this film off the bottom.There was one interesting thing, if you're a ST:TNG fan, David Birkin who played both the young Jean-Luc Picard in "Rascals" and Rene Picard in "Family" is in ATLQM as a code breaking, multi-lingual genius.
