Purely Joyful Movie!

Absolutely the worst movie.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I love WWII movies but this was some really bad dialog. Like they just learned their lines for the first time. Really weird. Oh and like everyone else said about the Germans but at least they were speaking German so not that noticeable.This movie is like someone's first movie they made out of film school and they couldn't afford actors. The story line is bad, the special effects, the game looking scenes the put in was funny as heck. Everything was bad but the dialog stuck out even more. How did this even make it to final draft?Really bad stuff. I wish I didn't see it.

Don't expect too much of this picture, this isn't an a-movie, there's neither an ingenious script nor some extraordinary special effects or something like that. Surely, it got some story, but the theme about the young soldier going to war leaving his girlfriend behind does not seem very unique at all. Also the last sequence, where Don has grown old, remembering his war experiences, seemed pretty familiar. The most annoying thing was, that the German soldiers (in particular the officer while briefing his men, but the others too) were talking in a very odd way. Not only that I instantly noticed their American accent, the few lines they had to say weren't even grammatically correct. Casting two or three native speakers can't be that hard!?Apart from that it's not a bad movie, it probably shows what was being a soldier in WW2 like in a pretty authentic way. Ambitious low-budget production.

I took my 83 year old father to see this movie when it came to the theaters here. I have only seen my dad be affected by a few things in my life and this movie was one of them. He said it was very realistic in its depiction of the fight that they were in, in Europe at that time. He was particularly amazed at how well the German soldiers were portrayed and that he thought they were using real machine guns of that time. I was glad that there wasn't so much overdone gore like so many big movies that hit the screen. I really liked the main girl that is in it. I liked seeing the story of how these guys came to be together in the war from all walks of life. Not all of them even really wanted to go. I can relate to that. But when called up they did there duty like my dad did I would recommend to veterans.

My wife and I had a chance to see this movie in Scappoose, Oregon at the world premier. There were fighting scenes, but all of the other elements that make a good film too. My wife never likes war movies! Oregon looked amazing! Watching something like this really makes you understand that there were stories like this happening all over Europe. It's important that movies like this are made because war will never be like it was back then. Kids today think of war as fighter jets and smart-bombs. They need to know how brave their great grandparents are and how hard the world has fought to protect liberties. Looking forward to the DVD release!
