Trailer

Why watch this film?

With more than forty nominations including an Oscar, two Golden Globes and a BAFTA, 'A War Movie' is a low-budget comedy that satirizes war films, playing with all the genre's clichés and providing a well-humored critique of the U.S. film industry. With an all-star cast featuring names like Tom Cruise, Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Ben Stiller, Nick Nolte and Robert Downey Jr., this is an intelligent movie for easy laughs.
