All The Queen's Men

Matt LeBlanc (of the television series FRIENDS) stars in this WWII spy comedy as American Officer Steven O'Rourke, nicknamed "Agent Almost" because he can never successfully complete a mission. Stationed in England after another botched mission, O'Rourke is given one last "do or die" assignment to redeem himself. He and his mismatched platoon members must parachute into Berlin, infiltrate an all-female factory where they are producing the Nazi Enigma code machine, and successfully steal the elusive machine. With the help of Tony Parker (Eddie Izzard), a British soldier who also happens to be a drag performer, O'Rourke and his fellow soldiers (David Birkin and James Cosmo) learn the basic skills for completing their mission, like walking in heels and applying lipstick. O'Rourke and his men stumble through the German factory in full drag, barely escaping the clutches of German soldiers, while attempting to complete the most important mission of their lives. Based on the true story of the Enigma code machine, recently dramatized in films like ENIGMA and U-571, ALL THE QUEEN'S MEN is a brazen combination of slapstick humor and wartime espionage action.

    Matt LeBlanc continues trying to move on from his Friends image in this wartime comedy. But it's a dismal affair, with LeBlanc sent into Germany to infiltrate a factory making Enigma machines after an altercation with twitchy British brass hat Edward Fox. Eddie Izzard's drag queen offers gender-bending tips and LeBlanc indulges in some combat action, but it's surprisingly infantile stuff from director Stefan Ruzowitzky, whose thoughtful art house drama The Inheritors and horror success Anatomy promised much more.

    • Radio Times
  • An unconvincing mix of cross-dressing comedy and spy drama, it is neither funny nor thrilling; the actors seem embarrassed by their roles.
