Dad's Army

Dad's Army (2016) is a British wartime comedy directed by Oliver Parker that you can watch online on iFILM. It brings the beloved BBC sitcom (1968–1977) to the big screen: the bumbling Home Guard platoon of Walmington-on-Sea is still protecting the English coast near the end of World War II, still hopelessly outmatched, and still enormously entertaining. Toby Jones, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon and Tom Courtenay headline, with Catherine Zeta-Jones arriving as a glamorous journalist who throws the entire unit into disarray.

The real threat — a German spy hiding among the locals — gives the comedy something to push against, but the film earns its laughs the same way the original did: by treating these well-meaning older men with genuine affection rather than mockery. A gentle, handsome tribute that works best for fans of the source material. Stream Dad's Army online on iFILM.
