Hey, blame Universal. They're the ones who kept throwing money at this project when it was widely known throughout Hollywood that it was a mess. But guess what? It's funny. Sure, it's a misfire and it lost A LOT of money, but it's really a wild ride. ...read the complete 1941 movie review at eFilmCritic

Hero takes a fall, part one: Steven Spielberg's career progressed on a nice track during most of the 1970s. He started out the decade with a well-respected TV movie called Duel and released his first theatrical film, Sugarland Express in 1974. While few ...read the complete 1941 movie review at DVD MovieGuide

Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)
Even good directors miss every once in a while. This was Spielberg's big miss. He thinks that maybe Americans weren't ready to laugh at war, since the film was released so soon after the end of the Vietnam war. I think it had more to do with the ...read the complete 1941 movie review at Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)
New York Times (Vincent Canby)
It may possibly be that Mr. Spielberg has chosen gigantic size and unlimited quantity as his comedy method in the awareness that he has no gift whatsoever for small-scale comic conceits. ...read the complete 1941 movie review at New York Times (Vincent Canby)

A great comedy that is best enjoyed in Full Screen. This DVD is not only mailbox it is a severe version of mailbox which ruins the entire story. Only buy this DVD in Full Screen. This letterbox version is not enjoyable. ...

What can you say about this movie that hasn't been said? This movie is pure comedy from start to finish. The all star cast is probably one of the greatest generations of comedic actors which we will ever see on film. If you haven't seen this spoof on ...

So what did some of you people do- Get tired of surfing porn all night and decide to jump on the bandwagon of people that have bashed this movie because the critics originally bashed it?? I can watch this movie over and over- What's not to like?? ...
This movie changed my life entirely. When I first heard of it, I thought, "since it's a Steven Spielberg film I thought it was going to be a movie really about world war II, but it actually was a parody of world war II films. Even at tHe begining of this ...

All I can say is, this is an incredibly well-made movie. Well, not ALL, but this still is very well-made. I watched this again last night, and fortunately, I got the expanded version this time. I bought the original release on tape a long time ago, and ...

I "discovered" this funny movie on theatrical cut VHS many years ago and laffed alot. The directors cut does not diminish the pace. The DVD re-issue of the old Laser Disc in widescreen is OK but Universal gave the public a non-anamorphic version for ...
