Eddie Izzard seemed like a curios choice, at first, but he does a terrific job in this movie. It proves to be a great lesson in the importance of achievements from the farthest corners of Britain during WWII.

Amazing that something so fundamental can be taken for granted under even the most extraordinary of circumstances. Still, the story could have been botched by a lesser cast and crew. Not so, here.

Not your normal "the butler did it" mystery. What Sandler and Aniston lack in romantic chemistry, they make up in veteran comedic chops.

It was a little hard to get into the movie, even through everything about it should have worked.

I think it was unnecessarily transparent at the end, but otherwise a great movie.

The dialogue overcomes the transparent message and delivers a fun movie.

This movie could have been 15-20 minutes shorter and exponentially better for it. It had some dumb mistakes that could have been easily left on the cutting room floor without changing the story. Aside from the poor pacing, it's a great idea and a great story.

I think this movie is suffering from its departures from the almighty formula. It's beautifully filmed, directed, and acted. The script is not transparent, as most formula movies, so you don't get the luxury of letting it wash over you.
