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.

Not bad enough to qualify as a memorable dud, multinational production nonetheless misses mark on every level.

The comedy is nonexistent.

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.

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.

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.

This one aims for the toilet and scores a direct hit.

It seems just a long, convoluted ploy to get men into drag -- period drag, no less.

A graceless, witless attempt at mating Some Like It Hot with the WWII espionage thriller.
