Just been to see this film they both act their socks off, many funny one liners which make you laugh out loud. Many touching bits too, will bring a tear to your eye.

Don’t think younger generation will like it the same as us oldies but worth going to see.

Great anti war film too. What a way for both actor and actress to finish their careers, sorry but when I went to school the female word for an actor was actress,

Do not want to give too much away just hope they followed exactly what happened , several scenes quite touching.

I'm surprised the mods haven't moved this to the correct section.

Also grammar Nazis will tell you all the words in the title should start with a capital letter.

went to see it last night. Wee local theatre/cinema. Ex church.
loved it
it did bring a tear to my eye

Made even more poignant as I'd had a week in a gite and cycling around Courseulles Sur Mer (Juno Beach) in June of this yer.

Just seen this evening. What a great film. Was totally different to what I imagined. Touching, funny, and acting as you’d expect from the main characters. Throughly enjoyed and yes, a tear to the eye in places.

I want to ask a plot question.. but not sure how to post “reveal spoiler”

Anyway cliché maybe(and I’ve had a few wines now) but nice to see a superhero film that are real people.
