Rating: 2/4 --
I got no impression from this film that Lester really, personally, cares very strongly one way or the other about war. It was only a currently fashionable subject, a good excuse to make a movie.

Chicago Sun-Times
Dated, maybe, but Lester's gruesomely black anti-war comedy still looks inventive, and manages occasionally to hit home with its blend of surreal lunacy and barbed satire.

Rating: 2/5 --
This war farce (about World War II) is just not funny.
Filmcritic.com
Ambitious, stylised British satire. Written and acted with conviction, it pulls no punches.

Film4
It suggests an overaged boyishness almost incapable of relating to the hard-nosed, dry, sardonic war films supposedly under attack here.

Rating: 3/5 --
Thought provoking, at very least, John Lennon starrer.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Patrick Ryan's novel has been adapted into a screenplay which, as directed by Richard Lester, substitutes motion for emotion, reeling for feeling, and crude slapstick for telling satire.

Product Description:
An inept officer is given the assignment to lead his battalion out of England into the searing Egyptian desert where he must construct a cricket field. A scathing lampoon of warfare.
