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.

Um filme que Joey, personagem de LeBlanc em Friends, certamente poderia ter protagonizado.

Weak in parts, but should please Eddie Izzard fans.

Ruzowitzky has taken this mothball-y stuff and made a rather sturdy, old-fashioned entertainment out of it.

There is more than one joke about putting the toilet seat down. And that should tell you everything you need to know about All the Queen's Men.

It all feels like a Monty Python sketch gone horribly wrong.

What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down.

Not only does LeBlanc make one spectacularly ugly-looking broad, but he appears miserable throughout as he swaggers through his scenes.

Fails to satisfactorily exploit its gender politics, genre thrills or inherent humor.

This ostensibly comedic film contains absolutely no funny moments whatsoever and is basically a war flick that fails to provide any sense of urgency, suspense or concern for the good guys' well-being.

I can imagine this movie as a b&w British comedy, circa 1960, with Peter Sellers, Kenneth Williams, et al., but at this time, with this cast, this movie is hopeless.

There are cheesy backdrops, ridiculous action sequences, and many tired jokes about men in heels.

A horrible, 99-minute stink bomb.

Maybe LeBlanc thought, “Hey, the movie about the baseball-playing monkey was worse.”

Afraid to pitch into farce, yet only half-hearted in its spy mechanics, All the Queen's Men is finally just one long drag.

The pacing is often way off and there are too many bona fide groaners among too few laughs.

Let's hope -- shall we? -- that the 'true story' by which All the Queen's Men is allegedly "inspired" was a lot funnier and more deftly enacted than what's been cobbled together onscreen.

Jaw-droppingly superficial, straining to get by on humor that is not even as daring as John Ritter's glory days on Three's Company.
