Movie Reviews

The Dissolve - 8/10 by Craig J. ClarkIt's a well-honed farce that gave Edwards and his cast a solid framework in which to improvise, which they did to superlative effect.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffWhat Did You Do in the War, Daddy? carries an engaging title but after dreaming it up the writers promptly forgot all about it and launched into a thinly-devised comedy without much substance.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzWar as fun in this service comedy by director Blake Edwards.
New York Times - 4/10 by Bosley CrowtherIf you might be inclined to take offense at what is callous bad taste in parodying something that was serious, after all, stay away. This only goes to show it's getting tougher all the time to make a marriage of war and farce.
Film4 - 4/10 by StaffThere's the odd smart individual gag, and the performances (especially Coburn and Shawn), are cheery enough, but the whole is an undisciplined, overstretched mess.
Cleveland Press - 4/10 by Tony MastroianniThe entire movie would have benefited from trimming a half hour from it.
User Review - 10/10 by jay nThis is a fantastic movie. A great cast, a great story, and a funny situation. Harry Morgan is outrageous! Everyone should see this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Ben SI've seen it several times, and it grows with each viewing.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard COK, so the plot is absolutely absurd, and one may wonder whether the writer and director had been drunk the whole time ... But it really is a very funny movie!
User Review - 8/10 by Rob MA humorous mixup of MASH, WWII, and the Pink Panther into a multi-faceted comedy.
