WTF also describes my reaction to the way the film swings between comedy and warfare. That said, the film grows on you...

This Orientalist storyline is not only problematic and unoriginal, it's also dangerous.

If Whiskey Tango Foxtrot isn't as incisive or as penetrating as it potentially could have been, for a major studio satirical look at the war in Afghanistan there's still plenty of food for thought here.

...a watchable (albeit thoroughly generic) comedy...
