Based on the 1960s British sitcom of the same name, this comedy follows the exploits of the part-time soldiers of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard during World War II. As the war nears its end, the platoon receives a visit from a beautiful female journalist just as they begin to suspect there may be a German spy among their ranks. The Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard may finally have an opportunity to impact the war. Directed by Oliver Parker, "Dad's Army" stars Academy Award-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon, and Toby Jones.

Like many remakes, they should've left well alone. I took my dad (a life long Dad's Army fan) to see this for his birthday and left wishing we hadn't bothered... have laughed more at party political broadcasts. Unfunny, clunky script and about 90 minutes too long.

Understandably this was never going to be anything like the original and in itself thats not the problem. The huge potential of the cast was utterly wasted, with only glimpses of their obvious talent. Far too much exposure is given to the character played by catherine zeta jones and not enough to the riches contained within the platoon itself. An opportunity lost, but there is always the original to fall back on!

Should never have been made. The original cast were just perfect. This was always doomed to fail. As a stand alone film its passable, but I'd rather just go back to the original.
