San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann
What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Good-natured fun; it doesn't always work, but it's not for want of trying.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
Bad in such a bizarre way that it's almost worth seeing, if only to witness the crazy confluence of purpose and taste.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Loren King
The British intelligence operation at Bletchley Park that cracked the Enigma code is truly the stuff of great drama. But that story doesn't offer Matt LeBlanc in a wig and heels.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
A perfectly good idea for a comedy, but it just plain doesn't work. It's dead in the water. I can imagine it working well in a different time, with a different cast, in black and white instead of color--but I can't imagine it working like this.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Janice Page
A throwback war movie that fails on so many levels, it should pay reparations to viewers.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
It's not surprising to learn that the story -- which the press notes assert is loosely based on fact -- has been kicking around Hollywood for 15 years. It's that bad.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
Afraid to pitch into farce, yet only half-hearted in its spy mechanics, All the Queen's Men is finally just one long drag.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Gene Seymour
Let's hope -- shall we? -- that the "true story" that allegedly "inspired" All the Queen's Men was a lot funnier and more deftly enacted than what's been cobbled together here.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
Not bad enough to qualify as a memorable dud, multinational production nonetheless misses mark on every level.
Read Full Review >The New York Times A.O. Scott
Rarely has a movie worked so hard to be so inconsequential.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michael Atkinson
The fiercely original Eddie Izzard is wasted in this botch, not something you could say for lucky millionaire Friend Matt LeBlanc.

Jeff C. gave it a10:
I love this movie. But I know it's not easy for every amercan to understand the austrian humor.
George D. gave it a 2:
This movie was so bad. I want my 101 mins back. The only person who looked like he was having any fun was Eddie Izzard 'cause he got to be in drag. The only good thing about this movie is I saw it for free.
Greg T. gave it a 1:
This movie was so bad as to be embarassing. This was supposed to be some sort of quasi comedy. The person I watched this movie with are still waiting for the first laugh. It was forced, contrived, boring and ill-conceived. They dragged up a tired old English drag queen to play one role and this Matt LeBlanc to play the straight macho counterfoil. Blanc is the operative word. He could have cared less. No doubt he wished he had not signed up for this movie contract.
Heather H. gave it a 10:
It was great.
