The film is co-written by Judd Apatow, (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) who can do no wrong in Hollywood right now, and Jake Kasdan, who also directs with a light and glancing hand.

There's an almost pre-moral innocence about his soft and squishy mug, a heedless exuberance in his playing. He's happy to play dumb - allowing Dewey to live...

...Though she was to become quickly battle-hardened, Tram retained a girlish, almost naive idealism at her core, and her romanticized musings give the diaries a dimension besides the unending carnage of the front line. She pines for a lost love - a communist soldier she names only as "M," but he has vowed to be married only to the cause. She fends off seemingly endless declarations of love from patients. She also records passionate but platonic friendships with at least three younger soldiers, and an older Communist Party cadre, but is dismayed at the gossip these chaste relationships stir...
