Reviews

Screen International - Wendy Ide
The risk-averse approach to the remake extends to the humour. Pratfalls and benign double entendres (“I saw you slip her a sausage!”) rub shoulders with familiar gags and catchphrases which have been lifted wholesale from the original series.

Variety - Unnamed
Amiable to a fault, with gags both broad and gentle, Oliver Parker’s pic prompts sporadic chuckles rather than guffaws.
40
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw
It’s hard to escape the sinking feeling that this is a waste of talent – and that this is a good-natured, well-meaning but pointless kind of Brit-comedy ancestor worship, paying elaborate homage to a TV show that got it right the first time.

The Hollywood Reporter - Stephen Dalton
Dad’s Army is hobbled by too much broad slapstick and labored clowning.
40
Time Out London - Cath Clarke
The top-notch cast keep calm and carry on, but this TV remake is a waste of everyone’s time.
