As to be expected from a US movie about beer, this is on par with an Italian sports drama about baseball. Have you ever tasted their beer? See, what should have come out of it? Well, this a disjointed, meaningless mess of "humour" that should even embarrass semi-moron frat boys. BTW, the Irish should have won, with the Germans a close runner up.
At this time, it is voted 6.2!!! Hard to believe. Best voted by female voters under 18. Interesting. Voted 6.6 by US-voters, no surprise here.
Anyway, avoid this like the small pox. Since I have to fill some lines, let me just put on record the embarrassment to see Jürgen Prochnow in... this.

After all the bashing it received elsewhere, I'd like to join the majority here saying this is a vastly underrated flick. It's a WW-II-comedy in "Some-like-it-hot-"drag, tinted by a touch of tragedy.
Though LeBlanc is not that convincing, the self-finding of the young decoder and the love story of Eddie Izzard are deeply emotional and worthwhile throughout. Beautiful Krebitz' character is one of the witty girls often found in war-times Germany, though her banter is toned down in speed to let even Austrians understand the meaning of her lines.
Great cast, good story with only minor plot holes (yes, you should watch it till it's over) and some really funny gags. Good blend of war drama and comedy.

This is one of the few books I hope I will never see on the big screen. The vast pastiche opened before our eyes cannot be rendered adequately within two or even three hours. Any movie adaptation will only result in brutal butchering of one of the most beautiful books about moving images ever conceived. Go READ. Don't wait for the film.
Anybody who compares this to Dan Brown's drivel, by the way, doesn't obviously know what he is talking / writing about. First, Roszak gets his facts right (hello Dan), second Roszak has written a highly original novel and not just used material published before (HELLO DAN) and third Roszak knows how to write engaging prose and gripping dialogue (HELLLLOOOO DAN). In short, Roszak's novel is on par with Umberto Eco's Pendulum and Name of the Rose, while Dan Brown is barking up a tree.
With a sore throat.
