Here's an oxymoron for you: "nuclear war comedy." That's one way to describe Dr. Strangelove, one of the late Stanley Kubrick's early hits. How could anyone successfully construct a comedy dealing with such a frightening topic? Somehow, Kubrick did ...read the complete Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb movie review at Film Frat

President Muffley has a problem. One of his generals, Jack D. Ripper, has gone insane and ordered bombers to nuke the Soviet Union. The biggest problem with this, is that the Soviets have constructed a weapon which shall destroy the world if they should ...read the complete Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb movie review at John Beachem

"Dr. Strangelove" probably holds the record for the longest and strangest title in movie history, and in a way it's symbolic of the contents. This is a story of the end of the world, but a funny and thematic one at that. The plot is a bit difficult ...read the complete Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb movie review at Chad Polenz

There are many places the song Try A Little Tenderness can be heard. It can be on a random oldies station at a remote time of night. It can also be heard sung very soulfully and passionately by the group immortalized by a film known as The Commitments. ...read the complete Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb movie review at DVD Authority.com (Christopher Bligh)

The ultimate touch of ghoulish humor is when we see the bomb actually going off, dropped on some point in Russia, and a jazzy sound track comes in with a cheerful melodic rendition of "We'll Meet Again Some Sunny Day." Somehow, to me, it isn't funny. It ...read the complete Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb movie review at The New York Times (Bosley Crowther)

I'd say this is one of the funniest comedies of all time. It's uproariously funny, yet the basic theme (nuclear apocalypse) is deadly serious. Actor-Comedian Peter Sellers plays three different roles to perfection. He plays the President of the United ...read the complete Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb movie review at Teen Movie Critic (Roger Davidson)
