02/16/2013 I expected little from this find, given the lame DVD cover (not as shown here), but was pleasantly surprised. The satire is muted and underplayed but sharp. Archival footage is mixed in nicely with faux-vintage new footage, and the performances, if stock, were high calibre (pun intended). Good idea, good writing, good dig at American foreign policy. (I'm not American, i'm on the receiving end.) See more 06/28/2010 A real chore to sit through. Think Airplane-style humour mixed in with old World War II movie clips with a cast that fail to deliver the dead-pan required. See more 08/09/2008 Allegedly intended, and certainly billed, as a parody of the military training and recruitment videos of the 40s, it only occasionally seems to put forth the effort to make actual jokes at their expense, and at the expense of the military. Apart from these occasional ribbings at the differences between actual wartime situations and the watered down equivalents portrayed in those old propganda-reels (and a few sly references to America's current war on the abstract concept of "fear"), it more often than not comes across as more of a genuine tribute to them. Still, it kept me fairly amused. See more 07/26/2008 Not as funny as I'd hoped, some of the satirical barbs are on target, and a few lines which made me laugh "We gave the world popcorn! Who doesn't love popcorn?" See more 07/13/2008 MADE ME LAUGH......WORTH A LOOK See more 06/27/2008 Old military training films mixed with newer footage (but of the same style) makes for an interesting experiment in commentary and satire. I'm not sure if the intent was to make fun of our government and the military or just be funny, but it does both a fair bit. I thought it was interesting, but grew a little tired of it somewhere in the middle. It's like a joke that goes on a little too long. Some people will eat this up, some are going to hate it. As usual, I'm somewhere in the middle. If the title caught your attention, check it out.. you might like it. See more Read all reviews
