Making a satire or comedy on such a difficult topic is certainly a tricky thing. As such, and despite the controversy it may spark, this movie has the necessary depth it takes. Yes, it’s painful to watch at times, but here is the evolution of Jojo from an indoctrinated brat to the boy he is supposed to be, slowly empathizing with the Jewish girl living in the walls of his home. This film indeed has a hint of Anne Frank, and also depicting the horrors of the war in its last days, with the incomprehensible loss of lives of the "Volkssturm" being the last stand, slaughtering the elderly and children basically for nothing. If you feel bored or offended by this movie, you simply haven’t understood it. Yes, it’s supposed to be as "funny" as it can be, but it’s also more than that…

Mediocre film with some very nice bits; unfortunately, it's silly, not historically correct (The russian army and american army did not go into combat together for example) and you have to yawn at his mommy's fate...being too stupid to live.

An unusual film that combines humor and drama that is deeply touching as well. The cast was superb, as was the screenplay and cinematography, and the message against hatred, propaganda, and mindless groupthink is very relevant today. Highly recommend it!

It was so scattered, not much I liked at all! The young boy is a very good actor.

Why go and watch this film to be offended when it's clear what the setting of the plot is?! Typical uptight snowflake politically correct restrained people who show how they are ignorant by not researching beforehand. You go out to find what interests you and to enjoy, not to look for what will offend you. People offended by this film or any that don't go with what they like are also committing the huge crime of wasting people's time and space by appearing and buying tickets when they should know it will "offend" them. But about the film, early on it was in danger of going down the disastrous path of trying hard but not generating humour making it awkward and sad. However, the writers and producers saved it by clearly demonstrating sarcastic humour almost Napoleon Dynamite style, and that made viewers "get it" and that alone created laughs. As the film continued, it started gaining points as the storyline and writing became more serious and produced more content. Overall, the writers and producers saved the film. It's not going to be a legendary film by far, but it did its job of making for a nice time at the movies, and reminding us that no matter what, we cannot let war and disrespect win. It's too bad the rating scale wasn't out of 10, as it is more fair. 3.5 stars here (it doesn't seem to allow halves).
