What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down.

Bad in such a bizarre way that it's almost worth seeing, if only to witness the crazy confluence of purpose and taste.
25
Afraid to pitch into farce, yet only half-hearted in its spy mechanics, All the Queen's Men is finally just one long drag.
25
A perfectly good idea for a comedy, but it just plain doesn't work. It's dead in the water. I can imagine it working well in a different time, with a different cast, in black and white instead of color--but I can't imagine it working like this.

Let's hope -- shall we? -- that the "true story" that allegedly "inspired" All the Queen's Men was a lot funnier and more deftly enacted than what's been cobbled together here.

The fiercely original Eddie Izzard is wasted in this botch, not something you could say for lucky millionaire Friend Matt LeBlanc.

Stultifying.

There is a movie called Friends starring Matt Leblanc. I loved watching this movie. Like Friends, I imagine the Matt Leblanc-starring movie to be a funny, human-refreshing movie. There are movies like this with the theme of war. I thought that the difference between them was that the film was made in the comedy genre.
