I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The premise sounds very dumb, and also unbelievable. But the movie makers took this into account. The movie takes its drag premise very lightly, and manages to get some real drama out of it. This movie has amazing performances, especially from Eddie Izzard. It also has scenes that can only be called surreal - Maerchenland is brilliant. The movie is actually quite serious, with the plight of the infiltrating team becoming ever more dire. There is even a very heartfelt and believable gay romance between Izzard and his German friend that seems entirely natural. What probably puts people off is the mixture of camp and drama, which I think works very well. This is not a terrible movie at all, but quite enjoyable and - dare I say it? - well thought out. It doesn't deserve the slagging it's gotten. Take a chance and you'll enjoy yourself.

Anyone who knows about Eddie Izzard probably knows that he does a lot of skits in drag. So, his role in "All the Queen's Men" is perfect for him. He plays a man leading a platoon (along with Matt LeBlanc) into Nazi Germany to get information about the Enigma machine. The only thing is, this platoon has to be in drag the whole time, since the factory is run by women.The movie was apparently poorly received by both critics and audiences. I, for one, found it to be a very funny movie, and didn't see anything bad about it. Seriously, you gotta at least check "All the Queen's Men" out before making a decision based on what other people have said. I think that you will actually like it. Really funny.

Imagine you're back in high school at your senior prom. Now imagine the lame drag act that the football team does every year at this prom. Stuffed bras, bad wigs, bad makeup, and lumbering moves. Now imagine turning that into a full length feature film. And that's how you get "All the Queens Men". This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. This is dumb on every level in every way. HORRIBLE script. HORRIBLE idea. HORRIBLE acting. Who is the demographic for this piece of crap? If you like Matt LeBlanc, don't see this. If you like Eddie Izzard, (and I can't imagine why anyone would), don't see this. If you like WWII movies, don't see this. If you comedies, don't see this. If you like dramas, don't see this. If you like drag, don't see this. If you don't like drag, don't see this. Basically, just don't see this awful learning disabled film.If you have two hours of your life that you don't need for anything else whatsoever, still DON'T SEE THIS FILM!!! Just sit in the dark and stare off into space!!!

After all the bashing it received elsewhere, I'd like to join the majority here saying this is a vastly underrated flick. It's a WW-II-comedy in "Some-like-it-hot-"drag, tinted by a touch of tragedy.Though LeBlanc is not that convincing, the self-finding of the young decoder and the love story of Eddie Izzard are deeply emotional and worthwhile throughout. Beautiful Krebitz' character is one of the witty girls often found in war-times Germany, though her banter is toned down in speed to let even Austrians understand the meaning of her lines.Great cast, good story with only minor plot holes (yes, you should watch it till it's over) and some really funny gags. Good blend of war drama and comedy.
