...a watchable (albeit thoroughly generic) comedy...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 10, 2024

As the film starts to jumble many more characters (some who feel so unnecessary) and thematic notions, it becomes a jarring experience of a war film that feels as if the film is at war with itself.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 17, 2024

WTF also describes my reaction to the way the film swings between comedy and warfare. That said, the film grows on you...

| Sep 6, 2022

Although the film itself is undecided about whether it wants to be a comedy, a romance, or a wartime satire, Fey remains charming as ever and washes over the material's inconsistent approach.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2022

Fey is a masterful comedic performer...

| Sep 29, 2021

This wealthy comic layer, not by any means individually untalented or insensitive in every case, has been schooled in complacency and self-satisfaction.

This Orientalist storyline is not only problematic and unoriginal, it's also dangerous.

What I really enjoyed about it was that it had that kind of living abroad/travel/adventure movie aspect to it that you don't get a lot.

It's perfectly fine.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is a film that's good, but not great, and it's a film that's worth seeing.

| Feb 13, 2020

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot feels like a missed opportunity to use humor to dig deeper into America's twisted relationship with militarism; the great statement about the legacy of Bush's bungled wars will have to wait for another day.

The film mixes politics and fun and [Tina] Fey does a good job being serious and funny.

| Oct 16, 2019

It's clear all three of these main characters are on a collision course and the rather surprising outcome is one of the strengths of this entertaining outing.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 26, 2019

This solid, enjoyable blend of drama and comedy should not be overlooked simply because it failed to find an audience.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2019

The balance of this self awareness and the weight of its message are the biggest reasons Whiskey Tango Foxtrot works, and it doesn't hurt that viewers get to laugh some along the way.

| Original Score: B | May 10, 2019

Overall, it is the characters who make Whiskey Tango Foxtrot entertaining.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 7, 2019

"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" is a sensitive balancing act between wit and the drama of war without ever branching into anything overly political and staying in the realm of its comfort, which is its journalism aspect.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 5, 2019

A funny, complex and heartbreaking tale of love, war, and how it feels to fight so hard to make progress but end up treading water.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 3, 2019

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot might not carry quite the level of intensity that one might want, but thanks to the strong performances at its center, it still manages to be a compelling and entertaining cinematic experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 20, 2019

Fey shows she can shine in her serious side. Her performance really works, allowing some of her trademark wit to come through but also providing a challenge out of her typical comfort zone.

| Original Score: B | Jan 15, 2019
