Plot Summary
This heart-warming comedy tells the true story of two members of England’s Army Dental Corps, Sgt. Peter King (Kenneth Cranham of HOT FUZZ), a World War I veteran who wishes to die fighting, and Private Leslie Cuthbertson (Leo Bill of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO), a wet-behind-the-ears trainee. Inspired to leave their posts and sneak into occupied territory, the two dentists find love and friendship, and ultimately learn that to be a true hero all intentions must come from the heart.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: John Henderson's gentle World War II comedy dilutes its soft-bellied sentiment with a steady infusion of whimsy.
Fresh: As straightforward as its title, delivering exactly what you would expect: a pleasant bit of stiff-upper-lip nostalgia with a touch of whimsy.
Rotten: In the end, the picture comes up sufficiently short on both the wit and action fronts to be declared a keeper.
Fresh: A very amiable comedy.
