Leave your thoughts about Dad's Army.
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThis celebration of Dad's Army surpasses the original. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondIt's not the Dad's Army we know -- it never could be -- but it's an affectionate and well-crafted homage that builds to a climax that is as funny as it is strangely stirring. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Dad's Army," while perfectly pleasant, isn't very funny, fighting to find something grand to do with its WWII setting and cast of quirky characters. Parker isn't asleep here, but he isn't inventive either. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossWith the various catchphrases popping up clunkily whenever and wherever -- 'we're all doomed!', 'stupid boy!', 'don't panic!' -- this always feels horribly contrived. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterSticking doggedly to the tried-and-tested formula of the television comedy, this big-screen return is virtually a carbon copy of the original with the starry cast delivering spot-on imitations of their beloved predecessors. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Brian VinerIf Lowe, Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn and the others are looking down from their celestial church hall, I fancy they're probably smiling. |
| Radio TimesMark BraxtonThere's little sophistication on parade, but the film slowly warms to its task of celebrating a very British institution, with some genuine peril in the third reel. |
| Sky CinemaTim EvansQuaint in era of quick-fire, on-message political humour, McColl recognises the strengths and virtues of the original series to deliver a cinematic experience akin to a buttered scone and a nice cup of tea. |
| Daily StarAndy LeaThe plot is thin and the gags are patchy but the expert timing of some of Britain's finest comedy actors has got our Home Guard heroes marching again. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertThere really is no reason for the film to exist. |
