 "A horrible, 99-minute stink bomb."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Wouldn't it be funny if a bunch of Allied soldiers went undercover as women in a German factory during World War II? Um, no. But here's a movie about it anyway."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Bad in such a bizarre way that it's almost worth seeing, if only to witness the crazy confluence of purpose and taste."
-- Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. WEEKLY
"The pacing is often way off and there are too many bona fide groaners among too few laughs."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"It all feels like a Monty Python sketch gone horribly wrong."
-- Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
 "Ruzowitzky has taken this mothball-y stuff and made a rather sturdy, old-fashioned entertainment out of it."
-- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"Fails to satisfactorily exploit its gender politics, genre thrills or inherent humor."
-- Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
"A modestly comic, modestly action-oriented World War II adventure that, in terms of authenticity, is one of those films that requires the enemy to never shoot straight."
-- Kim Williamson, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

"Afraid to pitch into farce, yet only half-hearted in its spy mechanics, All the Queen's Men is finally just one long drag."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"There's an uneasy balance between the comedy and the drama that doesn't really fire on all levels, but it works on a few of them."
-- Criminy Pete, CRIMINYPETE.COM
"There is more than one joke about putting the toilet seat down. And that should tell you everything you need to know about All the Queen's Men."
-- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS
"A lame comedy."
-- Pam Grady, REEL.COM
"A crass and insulting homage to great films like Some Like It Hot and the John Wayne classics."
-- Max Messier, FILMCRITIC.COM
"This ludicrous film is predictable at every turn."
-- Michael Phillips, CITYSEARCH
"Maybe LeBlanc thought, “Hey, the movie about the baseball-playing monkey was worse.”"
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD (CRYSTAL LAKE, IL)
"This ostensibly comedic film contains absolutely no funny moments whatsoever and is basically a war flick that fails to provide any sense of urgency, suspense or concern for the good guys' well-being."

"A graceless, witless attempt at mating Some Like It Hot with the WWII espionage thriller."
-- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE
"I can imagine this movie as a b&w British comedy, circa 1960, with Peter Sellers, Kenneth Williams, et al., but at this time, with this cast, this movie is hopeless."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"The comedy is nonexistent."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"What we have here isn't a disaster, exactly, but a very handsomely produced let-down."
-- Edward Guthmann, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"It seems just a long, convoluted ploy to get men into drag -- period drag, no less."
-- Loren King, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"This one aims for the toilet and scores a direct hit."
-- Glenn Lovell, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
"Not only does LeBlanc make one spectacularly ugly-looking broad, but he appears miserable throughout as he swaggers through his scenes."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"Jaw-droppingly superficial, straining to get by on humor that is not even as daring as John Ritter's glory days on Three's Company."
-- Elvis Mitchell, NEW YORK TIMES
"There are cheesy backdrops, ridiculous action sequences, and many tired jokes about men in heels."
-- Janice Page, BOSTON GLOBE
"Let's hope -- shall we? -- that the 'true story' by which All the Queen's Men is allegedly "inspired" was a lot funnier and more deftly enacted than what's been cobbled together onscreen."
-- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY
