I didn't see this untill last night. Shame on me.
I liked quite a few things about it, to be honest.
I liked how the Americans and the English were drawn up as tremendous charicatures of themselves, filled to the rim with cartoon-like characteristics to make them so horribly cliché, while the Germans were all rather more freely depicted and had a wide, wide range of characteristics. Usually, this kind of movie just contains a varied main character, being the brave American/English soldier, and an off-the-rack cast of the usual order-barking scumbag Nazi soldiers.
It's also nice how he included many different types of typical movie rules, and then decided to just let them all go.
Oh, and, my eurofag self really enjoyed the amount of languages.
