Product Description

The action begins as the Nazis - led by a camp Hitler in a dress (Alan Cumming) - plan an invasion of England. As Winston Churchill (Timothy Spall) plots an evacuation to Scot Land... somewhere in England's green and pleasant countryside, farmworker Chris (Ewan McGregor) is trying to win the heart of Daisy (Rosamund Pike) while rueing the fact that he can't fight for his country because his "hands are too big". When the Germans finally invade and blitz London, it falls to Chris and his countryside cohorts to come to the rescue and the raggle-taggle band head to Hadrian's Wall to seek help from the "bloodthirsty" Scots. Jackboots on Whitehall takes more than a few liberties with history and features an all star voice cast.

A bit of Braveheart. Nazis invading London. And a whole host of laughs. With creative puppetry, a brilliant British cast including Ewan McGregor and Stephan Merchant and a sense of unashamedly British humour that draws on everything from Viz and 'Allo 'Allo - Jackboots On Whitehall is an entertaining and rebellious film for all to enjoy - or as we like to call it: Team America meets Inglorious Basterds! The action begins as the Nazis - led by the campest Hitler on record (Alan Cumming) - plan an invasion of England. As Winston Churchill (Timothy Spall) plots an evacuation to Scot Land... somewhere in England's green and pleasant countryside, farmworker Chris (Ewan McGregor) is trying to win the heart of Daisy (Rosamund Pike) while rueing the fact that he can't fight for his country because his "hands are too big". When the Germans hit town, it falls to Chris and his countryside cohorts to come to the rescue and the raggle-taggle band head to Hadrian's Wall to seek help from the "bloodthirsty" Scots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Team Britannica 12 May 2012
By Charles Vasey TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This action figure-based film is not going to be a Team America clone though it does have its moments. I often tried to imagine the studio meeting synopsis for the first Ace Ventura film; why did they think it would work? Yet work it does. There must have been a similar moment with this film. One can admire so much (and the Nazi Bratz dolls were very droll) but it is an exercise in sustained eccentricity. It will divide its audience on the Marmite principle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jackboots on Whitehall 4 Dec 2011
By Angol
Format:DVD
An excellent film, well worth watching. The first few seconds makes one wonder, but within mintues its clear to see this is going to be an original film. While full of cliches, they are well applied and while this film wont make it into the big time, it will have a proud place among the growing genre of uniquely "British" animation films (Wallance and Gromet, etc), and the ending has a nice twist to it.

The directors also showed you dont need a massive budget to make an excellent film. This film never left me feeling bored, and may well leave you with a great smile on your face.

Upbeat and entertaining

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so good 29 Jun 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A brave attempt at comedy that fails on every level. Nowhere near as good as, for example, Team America.
Not worth the purchase price.

Good film until the DVD starts jumping and missing wholes scenes. Tried different players but same thing happens. Are they all the same or did I just get damaged goods? Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not Team America standard.
The dvd by the appearance of the trailers and clips on the internet appears to be a barrel of laughs from beginning to end, sadly this is not the case, very from it. Read more

Not bad...I do like this movie but...I would have liked to see the puppets a bit more animated. While Team America used puppets, Jackboots uses dolls. Read more

Great film to a little slow in the middle ... right up to the finale when a 15 min section of the film is missing!
