Title: Clever spoof! Maybe too clever!
Product review: Why is everyone reviewing this as a straight war movie when it's obviously a parody of "Saving Private Ryan" and other jingoistic films--and a clever parody, at that! I mean, this movie mocks absolutely every war stereotype/cliche in history: the ludicrously noble leader (hello--children out of nowhere, that was really funny and clever), ridiculous missle at the end with impeccable dramatic timing, appropriately awful dialogue, the dude absolutely ignoring the deadly fire around him just so he can draw a picture, and the cheesy guy crying about his grandfather--HILARIOUS. Four stars for a job well done! I hope other less intelligent filmmakers--you know who you are--get the point.
