Screen International -
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 -
Amiable to a fault, with gags both broad and gentle, Oliver Parker’s pic prompts sporadic chuckles rather than guffaws.

The Guardian -
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 -
Dad’s Army is hobbled by too much broad slapstick and labored clowning.

Time Out London -
The top-notch cast keep calm and carry on, but this TV remake is a waste of everyone’s time.
