Two Men Went to War Reviews
There is no getting around the fact that Two Men doesn't have quite enough ammunition to sustain its own lunacy or our interest.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006
Winds up as a charming little entertainment about two lovable, albeit misguided, patriots.

An enjoyable, amusing and unpretentious film about a couple of English eccentrics - dentists whose eccentricity is not evident until their actions gave them away.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 3, 2004
Endearing little film.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 4, 2004
Well worth an evening invasion of the art house.
Full Review | Original Score: B | May 28, 2004
A mish-mashed historical drama sunk by its flattened tone... on the one hand clamorous and eventful but ultimately also quite tedious and tiresome.
| Original Score: C- | May 10, 2004
Henderson's warm and toasty little gem of a film, slight though it may be, reminds you that the Greatest Generation, full of vim, vigor, and -- most important -- an indefatigable sense of purpose, grew up on both sides of the Big Pond.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2004
A simple dose of nostalgia like this goes down easily.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 30, 2004
As straightforward as its title, delivering exactly what you would expect: a pleasant bit of stiff-upper-lip nostalgia with a touch of whimsy.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2004
More often than not, Two Men Went to War resembles a feature-length episode of Hogan's Heroes.

Here's something you wouldn't have thought possible after the gory realism of "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Thin Red Line": a sweet, whimsical little World War II film.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 22, 2004
A curiously feeble wartime comedy...to be filed under the heading of 'Might Have Beens.'
| Original Score: C | Apr 13, 2004
An understated charmer inspired by true events.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2004
A delightful little comedy told with a great deal of warmth and charm. It's a unique kind of war story that may not win the war, but has no trouble winning over the audience.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 9, 2004
The mission, which the soldiers codenamed Operation Mad Dog, would have been delicious as a documentary, but director John Henderson goes for an antic Two Stooges Abroad approach.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 8, 2004
Far from an anti-war film, Two Men is more in line with In Which We Serve (1942) than Oh! What a Lovely War (1969).
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 6, 2004
The film -- although slight -- works wonderfully.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2004
Wait for Two Men Went to War to go to the small screen.
