Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
As straightforward as its title, delivering exactly what you would expect: a pleasant bit of stiff-upper-lip nostalgia with a touch of whimsy.
More often than not, Two Men Went to War resembles a feature-length episode of Hogan's Heroes.
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.
Wait for Two Men Went to War to go to the small screen.
