What is wrong with you? This movie is so misunderstood!

... come on people, it's a comedy! And deserves so much more than its 3.4 rating. Eddie Izzard & Matt LeBlanc are in it for heavens-sake! And they're funny! They have to sneak into a nazi female run factory to steal the Enigma Machine. Eddie Izzard is accustomed to dressing up like a tart, but Matt LeBlanc catches up quick"! It's meant to be taken with a pinch of salt (as in; not seriously). Eddie is always funny, even when the rest of the movie hasn't much flesh to get your teeth into (I'm thinking of Disneys; 'The Wild' which is tragicly tragic except for Eddie Izzard who gives the voice to Nigel the trashy Koala). Matt LeBlanc probably got scared off by critics after this and went to hide in some cave and we haven't seen him since. If you guys hadn't bashed his attempts so hard, Matt LeBlanc would still be three inches tall trotting around our TV screens. But you lot have frightened him off - shame on you! LOL
