Plot Summary
On the English South Coast, Chris (Ewan McGregor, Star Wars: Episodes 1-3), a young farm worker, dreams of the chance to join the army and fight in exciting new lands. His chance comes when the three top Nazis—the enormous Goering, the malnourished Goebbels and the scarily campy Himmler—hatch a plan to invade England by drilling under the English Channel and into the heart of London. With the entire British army stuck in Dunkirk and no military support to defend the country, Churchill (Timothy Spall, The King’s Speech) issues a final radio broadcast from his bunker in Downing Street. Upon hearing the broadcast, Chris rallies the reluctant villagers, aided by American pilot Billy Fiske (Dominic West, The Wire), demanding that they help save England—and the world! Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton), Alan Cumming (X-Men), Rosamund Pike (Barney’s Version), and Richard E. Grant (Withnail and I) round out the all-star voice cast of this riotous supermarionation epic.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Sadly plumps for lowest-common-denominator idiocy of the let's-put-Hitler-in-a-frilly-dress variety.
Rotten: The Dad's Army premise is undermined by a limp script and soggy Braveheart pastiche, although the strong voice cast prevent disaster.

Team America Anyone
Biggest. Ripoff. Ever.
Seriously.
Eh... what the heck? I'll try it.
Looks OK... but, it's a bit creepy.
A Labour of Love for a Rainy Afternoon
If you're a history buff, war movie fan, ever played with action figures, and are stuck inside on a rainy afternoon, then this is the film for you. The animatronics are well done, the RC vehicles are untilized well, and the sets are meticulously decorated and detailed. The script sounds like it was written by a pair of high-school kids with Spielberg asparations, but that lends this film a youthful charm and sense of abandon. The all-star voice cast provides a layer of sophistication and talent to this labour of love. Rent it if you can, then decide for yourself about buying.
