San Francisco ChronicleEdward Guthmann
What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Good-natured fun; it doesn't always work, but it's not for want of trying. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyHazel-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 TribuneLoren 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-TimesRoger 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 GlobeJanice Page

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean 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

Rarely has a movie worked so hard to be so inconsequential. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGene 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

Not bad enough to qualify as a memorable dud, multinational production nonetheless misses mark on every level. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
The fiercely original Eddie Izzard is wasted in this botch, not something you could say for lucky millionaire Friend Matt LeBlanc. Read full review
