When was the war a comedy? Dozens of Georgian civilians died in 2008, Russo-Georgian war, and dozen Georgians had to flee their homes.
Movie is a lowest of lowest.

While this is a comedy, this is a very straight up thruth.
Media plays an immense amount of how things are percieved and especially during crisis such as a war or flood or some natural disaster.
The right photo, the right editing, the right video or sound clip can start or stop fights, wars or communication in all sorts.
Very well done and for those that marked this as a boring or uninteresting movie, they surely don't understand how real this is.
A good publicist can get attention...a great publicist can start and end wars.

Kudos to Tim Price and Raid Sabbah. This a great piece of British, low key humour. I guess if you don't get the humour as a guy, you were too busy wanting to see guns and cleavage. As a woman, it's clear this movie is held down by two beautiful women (Katherine Parkinson and Lily Newmark).
This movie was well written, VERY funny even though the jokes are subtle. Acting is at a high level, it's not the best movie of the year, but possibly the best budget movie of the year. Ultimately I think this movie is closet satire, happy to laugh at everything including it's own production levels. It's sincere, and it's worth keeping an open mind to anything these writers are working on...
This story is pretty far fetched, but it's exactly what makes it really funny. I enjoyed it loads.
Normally I would agree the premise of this movie is absolutely ridiculous to a normal person. However, I'm not a normal person: I flew combat missions in Vietnam. Flew for the DEA in Guatemala and Columbia during the Pablo Escobar years, flew for the U. S. D. O. S. Between Israel and Egypt, flew for the U. N. in the West Sahara ( Minurso), flew for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense and Aviation, etc.
Everything here is plausible. We lost the Vietnam War to a Liberal media and now that Social media is wagging the tail of the dog in current events.
Remember that of the two incidents that started the Vietnam War, one was entirely made up.
I'm just sayin'.
