HERE'S HOW TO GET THE GERMAN DIALOGUE TRANSLATED!

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

There are scenes that contain German, if you don't SPEAK German, you miss out on some details. Surprisingly I turned on the ENGLISH subtitles (like for hearing impaired?) and when it got to those parts, BAM translations! There should be automatic English subtitles during those scenes, but this works if you know the trick.

Now onto the movie. Matt LeBlanc, I just personally don't think he's that good. He's 'Joey' from Friends, that's kind of the limit of his acting versatility IMHO. He's not horrible, just not a lot of depth.

Eddie Izzard SHOULD have been listed as the starring role in this, not LeBlanc. He totally OWNS this movie. I would watch this with the sound off just to watch how accurately he seems to be able to portray a female. Elegant, witty, believable and very entertaining.

The storyline is simple, the script is lame and LeBlanc is just eye candy. It's worth watching if you are an Izzard fan.

I also recommend to Izzard fans:
UNITED STATES OF TARA he did several episodes
VELVET GOLDMINE
THE RICHES (there is only 1 season and it does rudely just drop off and die, but acting is great, story is compelling)

Worth purchasing if you're an Izzard fan.

Eddie Izzard's Great!

In this World War II comedy, several British men led by Matt LeBlanc's character, O'Rourke, go behind German lines to steal an Enigma machine. Because the factories in Germany are being worked solely by women, they must all go in drag. Eddie Izzard's character, Tony Parker, is a dream. If you enjoy Eddie Izzard's comedy, you will enjoy this sweet, unpretentious movie.

Matt LeBlanc gets the straight-man role, literally. He has to shepherd this unlikely group consisting of an unsuccessful spy (LeBlanc), a pencil-pushing temporary major (James Cosmo), Izzard's primadona drag queen and a code-breaking genius (David Birkin) into Germany to pass as women factory workers. You might remember David Birkin from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He played Picard as an adolescent in the episode "Rascals".

For me, the fun comes from remembering Eddie Izzard's description from his stand-up routines, of how if only we would use them, men in drag could throw off the enemy's concentration when parachuting down to war. Izzard describes it, and then he gets to do it! Big fun! I imagine that Izzard enjoyed making this movie. He gets to sing, wear fun costumes and speak in several languages, including German. Overall, the movie is fun as well as funny. Enjoy!

My Mousiekins!!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016

I don't care what people say about this movie, I loved it. It's Eddie Izzard in drag doing makeovers on people like James Cosimo (spelling? And I THINK that's his name...) & Matt Leblanc. Also it's cute that the youngest soldier has a toy he carries with him for luck (his "mousiekins"... Yeah, I know, kinda lame but still cute!).

And it's not supposed to be a super accurate WWII movie. Neither was Inglourious Basterds. Not that I'm comparing this movie to Tarantino, but I enjoyed it all the same and I wish it was back on Amazon Video.

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2010

This movie was made when Matt LeBlanc was a bigger star than Eddie Izzard, someone who is familiar with dressing up in women's clothing. LeBlanc really doesn't make a convincing woman and neither do the others in this WW II farce about what was known as a "poof" brigade. I don't know if these actually existed, or if the machine the men in the movie, did, either. However, there are some performances by notable stars, both English and German. You may want to watch this movie with the subtitles on, since you need to understand German to comprehend some of it. If you like British comedy, then you'll like this movie. If not, you might want to skip it.

Funny but not too clever. Obvious jokes regarding "transsexualism"--a car featured didn't look like 40s, looked more American 50s.

A daring charming combination: a gay war movie.

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I caught this movie on TV about half way through and started to change it but I just wasn't quite sure what I had here and decided to finish it. I am so glad I did. A war comedy with a couple twists and a half. The male heroes go into Germany pretending to be women. Not that they fool that many people but they do get the job done and leave you laughing till you hurt.

I Love Eddy Izzard

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2007

"All the Queen's Men" is far far better than it should be. The acting on all levels (especially Matt LeBlanc) is simply enchanting and situation perfect. The topic (locating the Enigma machine during WWII); the plan: (dress in drag to infiltrate the only German manufacturing plant making these machines whose workforce must be the women left behind). The funny and the fear here are mixed wonderfully. The supporting cast is dead-on...this is a movie, again, that is far far better than it should be. I don't watch many films over and over...but this is one that gets a pretty good workout when the hour is late, the mind is still buzzing and one needs to remember that great things can be accomplished by incredibly ordinary people.

a complete surprise, these guys really pull it off

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is, against all expectations, really good! The four men in drag, sent out on a special mission to get an Enigma machine from a German factory in WW2 staffed entirely by women, get involved in every imaginable situation as they try to find the location, showing courage and resourcefulness at all times, and giving many comic moments! The cast, led by Matt LeBlanc and Eddie Izzard, could hardly be improved on, it is pacy, it is even poignant, and it is action packed, and brilliantly shot. Even if a wartime comedy doesn't really appeal, this is worth a look. It really does take you by surprise. The director, Stefan Rudowitzky, later went on to make the celebrated film The Counterfeiters, but this one impressed me more.

Love the film, BUT.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

Love the film, BUT ...there are NO SUBTITLES!! For a film set in Germany during World War II and with a HUGE amount of the dialogue in German, it's kinda shoddy to not have any subtitles AT ALL - No embedded subs for the German speaking parts and no option to have any subtitles in any shape, form or language whatsoever. My advise - If you don't speak German, watch this film with someone who does (and who doesn't mind translating on the fly).
