Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
HotToastyRag Dad's Army is one of those adorable, "old guys still got it" movies that comes out every once in a while, sprinkled in among the "let's make fun of old people" movies that are never any good. Starring Bill Nighy, Toby Jones, Michael Gambon, Tom Courtenay, and Bill Paterson, a group of over-the-hill volunteers is in charge of protecting their town during WWII. No one really takes them seriously, and when Catherine Zeta-Jones shows up and starts charming everyone in the regiment, that doesn't make them any more credible.This is a very cute movie and has plenty of classic British gags, if you like that type of humor. If you usually groan and try to avoid British humor-and if you prefer your leading men to be under fifty-you probably won't like this one. I thought it was adorable, and I always find Bill Nighy dashing, no matter what age he is. Plus, when you least expect it, you get to watch a very exciting and suspenseful battle scene!
edwardrevans The modern take on Dads Army had a lot to live up to and failed. The problem is this, we have all grown up with the original characters which are ingrained in the national psyche. We all love the original Pike, Wilson, Jones and Mannering who the later delivered his lines with brilliant comic timing. I gave up after 30mins as I got bored me thinks it was with the Rose Winters character play by Catherine zeta- Jones, nice on the eye but irritating in this.
luke-285 Oh wow.Where to start?Awful plot, so bad and cringeworthy that it is not worthy of the term plot. There are the lame jokes which we expect, the prat falls which we also expect. What is missing is any sense of narrative.this is ninety minutes of my life I cannot get back..Don't bother.
FlashCallahan Anybody who has followed that strange sub-genre of having T.V series made into big screen outings, will know that the road travelled since Holiday On The Buses has been long and arduous to say the least.Not including Hollywood remakes of T.V. shows, I cannot recall one single film in this sub-genre to be anything other than below average.You may argue that The Inbetweeners Movie is the exception to the rule, but it made a huge amount of money thanks to it's release date being at the same time where groups of friends were just coming off their holidays, and or just waiting to start University.The only one that really is worth seeing is Kevin And Perry Go Large, which The Inbetweeners Movie ripped off 11 years later.And despite the absolute pedigree of the cast, Dad's Army firmly places itself into same old, same old, for the genre.so the plot of the film is as follows.The home guard are given the task of finding an enemy mole in their midst, and just as they are given their orders, they bump into Catherine Zeta-Jones, who just coincidentally happens to be at the right place at the right time to have the majority of the group fall for her....It's really no surprise as to whom the mole is, and despite the best efforts of the cast, who really give their all with the torrid script, it offers nothing but 'hilarious' confusion, people hiding behind couches, and some of the worst innuendo i've seen in a mainstream release in a very long time.To hear the line 'you've just slipped her a sausage' aimed at a butcher, brought back memories of Carry On Columbus, and that is the film that resurrected that beloved franchise just to kill it just that little bit more.Kudos to the makers though, it does feel authentic, right down to the old fashioned green screen they use when they are driving down a country road, it does look like their is a war going on.Devoid of humour, decent comedy, and a finale that is about as exciting as playing spot the current, when purchasing a Chelsea Bun, Dad's Army fails to live up to it's cast.
