6/10.
Peter Sellers' first starring trifecta (beating out Dr. Strangelove by a full 5 years) is an inept army commander, prime minister, and queen of the smallest country in the world-Grand Fenwick. The country's in debt, so they go to war with the USA and try to lose immediately so that they get money in war aid. The only problem is, losing's not that easy for them. It's not that funny (one of those movies where the concept's funnier than the actual movie), but it's a very clever idea, and executed well. It's short and entertaining, and even spawned a sequel. A good movie to pop in if you're bored one night, but it's nothing earth-shattering.
Not Rated.
