IGN's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare review called it "[Ritchie's] answer to Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, only lighter and with more jokes about bland German cuisine."

What Is The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare About?
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action-comedy based loosely on the British military's Operation Postmaster during World War II. Here's the official synopsis from Lionsgate:
Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.
