Funny and original, I have heard some of the actors in the series sing before and I looked forward to seeing this bunch in a musical. I was not disappointed most of the cast sang well, the songs were a joy having us all clapping along. It must be said that the songs were not there just as an after thought and that they fitted extremely well with the continuity of the show. My favourite was Turk and J.D's duet "Everything comes down to Pooh!". Though this was by no means the only performance to be recommended check out John C. McGinley's performance then check him out in Platoon. It was so good that when it was over I switched to ParaComedy+1 and we watched it again, except this time I recorded it as well!!

The idea behind this film of 6 friends caught up in WWII promises so much but fails to deliver dismally. The idea of 6 friends, of differing nationalities, being forced to chose sides, their countries or their friends, alludes to the futility of war and that only nations make war, not individual people. The acting in this film, despite the presence of some very good actors, is strained and wooden. The combat sequences are awful with British aircraft having German markings and American aircraft having British markings. Those looking for historical actuary re. Equipment and uniforms should look elsewhere. This film just doesn't live up to the idea under lying it. Having said that the idea behind this film is excellent and if executed properly, and with a descent budget and cast, could rank along side the greatest war films of all time.
