Advantages: Good mix of humour, drama and action, plus Eddie Izzard Disadvantages: "War film" tag might put people off
...sex with bees". All in all, a gripping story based on some reality which manages to mix action, explosions, love affairs, friendship, humour and men in dresses. EDITED TO ADD: The extras contained on the DVD are "Behind The Scenes" and "Making Of Documentary". Behind the scenes shows how 2 scenes were shot from different angles with actors falling onto crash mats but not very enlightening as there is no commentary with the shots. The "documentary" ...

DVD Description
Matt LeBlanc (of the television series FRIENDS) stars in this WWII spy comedy as American Officer Steven O'Rourke, nicknamed "Agent Almost" because he can never successfully complete a mission. Stationed in England after another botched mission, O'Rourke is given one last "do or die" assignment to redeem himself. He and his mismatched platoon members must parachute into Berlin, infiltrate an all-female factory where they are producing the Nazi Enigma code machine, and successfully steal the elusive machine. With the help of Tony Parker (Eddie Izzard), a British soldier who also happens to be a drag performer, O'Rourke and his fellow soldiers (David Birkin and James Cosmo) learn the basic skills for completing their mission, like walking in heels and applying lipstick. O'Rourke and his men stumble through the German factory in full drag, barely escaping the clutches of German soldiers, while attempting to complete the most important mission of their lives. Based on the true story of the Enigma code machine, recently dramatized in films like ENIGMA and U-571, ALL THE QUEEN'S MEN is a brazen combination of slapstick humor and wartime espionage action.
