MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AND YOU!

 

"Funny!" - "Ingenious!"

"A Loving Spoof"

"A Biting Satire"

 

"Military Intelligence and You!" is two movies for the price of one. It's both a loving spoof of World War II films and a pointed satire on America's involvement in Iraq. These two different aims complement each other surprisingly well, the geniality of the spoof making it possible for the satire to effectively hit its targets."

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"Posing as an actual WWII U.S. Army training film, "Military Intelligence And You!" uses the retro propaganda guise to poke fun a the current administration's dubious intellicne in justying the invasion of Iraq."

Dennis Harvey, Variety

"First-time filmmaker Dale Kutzera blindsides ’em with Military Intelligence and You!, a hilarious satire assembled out of classic clips from World War II military training films and framed by fresh footage shot in a war room staffed with intelligence officers who—in their simplistic insistence on a dichotomy between do-gooders and evil-doers every bit as black-and-white as the cinematography—make their counterparts in Dr. Strangelove look like geniuses."

Chad Greene, Box Offixe Magazine

“A biting satire based on the U.S.’s military strategy of ‘attack first, find evidence later.’ This film could bet he start of a new genre of movies."

Ain’t it Cool News

"An ingenious satire that could easily tip toward self-congratulation yet never does, "Military Intelligence and You!" is a comic assault on the Bush administration's policy of preventive war in Iraq. But there's nothing strident about filmmaker Dale Kutzera's political barbs, couched as they are in an unusual parody."

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

"By cleverly weaving selected scenes from B-grade 1950s stock footage from actual training films together with a stylishly rendered story, Kutzera delivers a parody more in line with Dr. Strangelove than Austin Powers. Striking in plain sight, this glorious spoof strikes its target with bloodless, yet deadly precision. “

Belinda Acosta, Austin Chronicle

“The humor is sometimes just silly, but the mock narrator and portentous dialogue prove to be irresistibly funny. Of course the real target here isn’t World War II, it’s Iraq, and the film strafes Bush and Co. for their own misuse of military intelligence."
