If you appreciated the Britishness of The Great Escape (ignoring Steve McQueen - oh and the Ozzie or whatever he was) and Chicken Run, this will appeal to you. With a great line-up of British actors, and a self-effacing script, this is a fun film.
It's very much set in the Dambusters/633 Squadron/Battle of Britain style of British Spunk and all the actors play along with that. There are some nice in-jokes too. I think it will appeal to all the family.
The seven out of ten, rather than a higher score, is simply because I think the scripting was a little bit lax. Had they worked a little harder they would have had a masterpiece. Here, it's at about the same level as Shark Tale, which also would have benefited from a little tightening.
