Review Quotes
- "...feels a little bit like a '60s comedy that would have starred Alan Arkin; now, it seems too late. Of course, so would Wag the Dog if it came out now. But that film's timing was much better, and its jokes weren't quite as obscure, or its timing so off."— Variety
- "The ambitions and intentions...are laudable, but the film is a nearly complete misfire."— The Hollywood Reporter

So War, Inc. is what happens when Cusack joins up with Aykroyd in Grosse Point and still has the same neurosis with worse music?
