Rating: 2/5 --
This war farce (about World War II) is just not funny.

Rating: 3/5 --
Thought provoking, at very least, John Lennon starrer.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
It suggests an overaged boyishness almost incapable of relating to the hard-nosed, dry, sardonic war films supposedly under attack here.

Rating: 2/5 --
I am afraid Mr. Lester has not added a single discouragement of war, but simply a little discouragement toward patronizing too-pretentious films.

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: 5/5 --
It still has an edge most films would shy away from. It's brilliant, bitter, defiant and angry.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Lester's op-pop style, jump cutting from incident to incident, seems too inherently cheerful for the material, which features fountains of stage blood.

Description by OLDIES.com:
John Lennon stars in his first film performance in this hilariously surreal collage of battle footage and one-liners lampooning the absurdity of the war. Michael Crawford also stars. The feature has been remastered for this DVD release with supervision from Richard Lester (Director), and John Victor-Smith (Editor). Now you can bring home John Lennon's only non-Beatles performance in a feature film.
