Most sit-coms are aimed at a relatively low denominator of intelligence. This one has the distinction of almost being exceptional. It is truly unfortunate that someone on the production team was influential enough to introduce a trio of characters that were actually out-of-character to the rest of the line-up. I'm referring, of course, to Larry and the two Darryls. Not only are they a throwback to the level of the average sitcom viewer, but their attempts at humor fail miserably - usually leaving one annoyed at the vulgar interruption. What is truly frustrating is the overzealous reception of hooting, whistling and shouting these three stooges receive any time they first come onto the set. This undoubtedly lends credence to the old adage: "Empty vessels make the loudest noise.
I had my doubts about spending the time to watch this movie, but I thought I'd give it a chance anyway. What the heck? ... I had nothing better to do that evening. Turns out 'nothing' would have been better than watching this trash!! Not only was the movie pointless (in my opinion, of course), but it left a bad aftertaste - I can only be thankful that I didn't watch the whole thing to the end. YUK!! I only wish I could give it a minus 1 instead of 1!!
Countless movies have been made about the two World Wars, and each of these has been told from a specific perspective. Many of these movies (especially those featuring prominently established actors) were made to entertain rather than to convey a message. Chris Nolan's Dunkirk had a different purpose to it - one that was very successfully realized by the director, the crew and the cast of this film. That purpose was to convey the reality of the near-hopeless situation on the beaches of Dunkirk, and the indomitable will of the British people that succeeded in turning a would-be defeat into a victory of spirit. Three Cheers to Mr. Nolan and everyone who contributed their efforts to creating this tribute to the Heart of a Nation! And to those who couldn't see this film for the masterpiece that it is ... "Watch it again."
