Army Of One doesn't add up to much.

The movie's noisy, busy and not that funny. But there is a sweetness and a cockeyed optimism here.

Most viewers would be better off waiting for Army Of One to air on TV, or just giving it a pass altogether.

Bizarre comic caper has language, drinking, drugs.

Cage grabs hold of the Faulkner character with all his might and won't let go. Again, much like in that Vince Neil video.

I can't give Army of One a positive or negative review, I can only try to convey my utter bemusement at this cinematic Edsel.

What was Cage thinking? See if he can play the most obnoxious, annoying character with a ridiculous script and have it make money simply because he’s Nick Cage? Wendi McLendon-Covey was great to see but not enough to last more then a half hour then fast forward to the end to see if it stuck the landing. It didn't so very happy I didn’t waste the time in the middle listening to that insanely grating voice.

Fun, quirky movie. It’s no blockbuster, but it’s a funny wacky Nick Cage movie!

I'm obviously alone here, but I found the movie both infectiously positive and charming. Nic Cage absolutely goes for it (as always)

This movie is a hidden gem that I missed when it came out. It is one of Cage's finest performances and Russell Brand was a great choice for the role of God. This is a hilarious roller-coaster of a story! This movie deserves a much higher rating than it has. Do yourself a favor and give it a go.

Compared to recent comedies out of Hollywood this is a damn Oscar winner! Just relax and run with it, lots of little sight gags, some laugh out loud funny stuff. There are scenes where you can't tell what is reality and what isn't, that's OK because neither can our hero. Enjoy.
