Churchill: The Hollywood Years (2004)

My Rating

Movie Info

A group of American executives making a film about World War II decide that since their lead is rather unglamorous, they will draft in an American G.I. to play the part of Winston Churchill. Their take on the war depicts a handsome Churchill falling in love with Princess Elizabeth, who is herself involved in the war as an undercover agent. Together the glamorous couple uncover a secret plot within the royal palace itself and battle to save the world from the evil clutches of Hitler.

The humour is largely underpant-based and of the all-mincing, all-flouncing gay stereotype variety, which looks like a barefaced insult to the audience

Occasionally familiar, but always funny - it's a work of comedy genius that you'd be desperately sad to miss.

Audience Reviews for Churchill: The Hollywood Years

A nice idea, but it was done much better in the Comic Strip Presents...Strike!. Some funny moments and decent talent involved, but it's spread far too thin over 90 minutes.

Bizarre re-writing of World War II history in the style of a British Naked Gun film, that unfortunately has more misses than hits. It's only 80 minutes long, but this would probably have worked better as a running skit in a TV sketch show (it's from the writer of "The Comic Strip presents...") than a feature film.
