    • Trivia
      Steve Carell consulted with his father, a WWII veteran, to prepare for his role.
    • Goofs
      Incorrectly Regarded as Goof: Age of Steve Carell doesn't match up for Vietnam service. However, the movie takes place in the past. If you presume Steve Carrel is 55 (as he was at the time the film was shot) during the movie's setting of 2003, he would have turned 19 (when he was there as per the "Disneyland" story) in 1967, the height of the US involvement in the war.

    Brilliantly written, superb cast

    This film passed me by and what a great surprise it turned out to be, having just watched this superbly written piece, that skillfully captured the sometimes futility of war. The cast were superb and in a subject that could have been dour and difficult to watch, a perfect balance was achieved. Even a moment of hilarity brilliant acted with Cranston left to indulge himself. Was Steve Carrell really laughing.....maybe. I simply loved the end, a fitting end to a superb film.
