Less Matt Leblanc & this would have been a good movie
There are only two reasons to watch "All the Queen's Men": Eddie Izzard as a bisexual drag queen and Scotland's James Cosmo as an older family man and inadvertent mommy. Izzard is both funny and touching as a man who will go to any length to be with his love, and Cosmo is downright heart-tugging (in an honest way) as he uncovers emotions he would've never encountered under normal circumstances. <

>Matt LeBlanc is badly miscast as Bruce Campbell, er, Special Services Agent O'Rourke. It's a pity he has no charm in this role, nor does he have any chemistry with the equally wooden Nicollete Krebitz. Rent it, if only to see how damn good Eddie Izzard can be as an actor, and how James Cosmo displays such wonderfully subtle emotion, especially in the German bombing scene. If the whole movie had been as excellent as that one scene, it may have lasted a LOT longer in the theaters.

Action Transvestite
"Running, jumping, climbing trees...putting on make-up when you get there" is how Eddie Izzard describes his life as an Action Transvestite. And it's true, in this movie, you get to see Eddie running around in heels and a gown, carrying a big gun. In all honesty, he is the most skilled, of the cast, in heels and dresses. And it seems like the perfect combination of major topics from his show "Dressed to Kill," World War II and Nazi Germany, Great Britain defending itself, slap dash army make-up, there are even shades of "The Great Escape." <

>But this movie is definitely a "renter." I don't care how much you love Eddie Izzard, don't buy it. Matt LeBlanc is tepid at best, and there's not enough time devoted to the supporting cast to save the film. Interesting in its own way, but even bargain basement prices couldn't entice me.

For Izzard fans
I bought this DVD from the previously-viewed bin at my local video store. The only reason I picked it up was for Eddie Izzard. The fact that Matt LeBlanc was in it scared me. I found that the movie, though full of plot holes, was actually much better than I feared. For fans of Eddie Izzard, it definitely is worth watching, and I would also say it is worth buying, if you can get it used.
