Gary S @RT81080389 Dec 31, 2024 Ahhhh a jolly jape think "Dads Army" really unbelievable it's a true story. Two limeies off to sort out the bosh with marmalade sandwiches packed and be home for tea and 20 overs on the green, A total bit of warming nostalgia of UK days gone by when a bit of the Great in Great Britain still remained rather than the dustbin it is now, feet up enjoy. See more May 12, 2012 Great movie, I loved it and I am now looking for a copy See more Dec 8, 2011 it was ok but I don't think I'll be watching it again though, Derek Jacobi, Christopher Villiers and Nick Miles (Emmerdale's Grayson and Emmerdale's Jimmy King), it was ok film but could have been better See more Mar 12, 2011 Based on book, which was based on true events. Nuff said. See more Feb 1, 2011 One of the best ever war films. See more Sep 14, 2010 What an unexpected delight is this true-ish wartime tale of two army dentists determined to do something for the war effort. A grizzled WW1 Sergeant and callow private go AWOL, heading for Cornwall and then to France armed with a rucksack of grenades, a couple of pistols and the odd dental tool. Possessing a comic lightness of touch rarely seen in Britain since the halcyon days of the Ealing comedies, this wonderful tale of British eccentricity is hilariously funny mainly because it never goes for the obvious laugh. Realisitic enough that the adventure is frequently nerve-wracking, with a splendid plot that constantly wrongfoots your guesses, the mismatched comic pair of Kenneth Cranham and Leo Bill work brilliantly. Filmed in vibrant colours so rarely seen in a British film, the movie succeeds way beyond its modest ambitions. It's the rare sort of film that banishes the blues and puts you in a good mood that lasts for ages afterwards. What more can you ask from a film than that? See more Read all reviews
