Orgasm to Wargasm ratio is disproportionately high. Acting is mediocre. Plot is ludicrously unbelievable. War scenes feature riflemen waiting until the enemy is in grenade range to open fire and Germans who apparently have decided to dress their melee weapons up as rifles.
On the plus side, it's not entirely unlike Saving Private Ryan for all of fifteen minutes. It just got fagged up by trying to be meaningful and dramatic.

This was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. So very very bad.

Canadian movie is Canadian. ...and just to explain that further. In November 2005, the Government of Alberta announced a $5.5-million grant to Gross and the film project as part of Alberta's centennial; the overall budget has been announced at between $16 million and $20 million, making it the highest-budgeted Canadian-produced film ever. Wait for it... In its opening weekend, Passchendaele grossed $847,522 in 202 screens in Canada, ranking second at the Canadian box office behind Max Payne. As of January 22, 2009, the film had grossed $4.45 million  |

It's the highest grossing Canadian movie now. Before it, Porky's was #1.

Actually, "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" had recently passed Porky's.
Made me wonder about some other Canadian movies, so I looked up Exotica - a whopping $5.1 Million. Thought it did only cost $2 Million to make.

Riiiight. My mistake. At least 'Bon Cop, Bad Cop' was slightly entertaining. |
