aldebaran68 This review contains a Spoiler warning: I am/have been a Greek speaker (not so much now) living in the UK. Learned my Greek in Greece from childhood (sort of family/friends). I always enjoyed the TV series of the same name L&P... because it was set in the 1967-70s period when we used to go there a lot. This L&P; Sirens in the Aegean is a more modern version of that comedy with a different story line but some of the same actors. Still an 'Army Comedy'. Set around the 1990s Crisis in the Aegean around two uninhabited islands of contested ownership in between Greece and Turkey. Hence the title Sirens in the Aegean. I reckon the TV series was the best TV comedy ever produced in Greece. This film is not far off being one of the best movie comedies ever produced. If not the best. It is very well produced. The script is intelligent but still very squaddie like. It combines army and non-army elements reasonably well. There are many genuinely funny lines and scenes as well as serious dialogue re the political and international situation and other matters. It is a good mix of comedy and drama really. It is well worth buying though it can be streamed. Spoiler warning: The only kind of questionable bit, really tiny but it was a bit silly, is when one of the soldiers tells another that a third who is a bit of a 'crack shot' can supposedly hit a rabbit/hare moving at 200m and a goat moving at 400m...with an AK-47... I thought that a little hard to believe, but hey, its a comedy... ! Well worth watching and it stands repeated viewing. The Cretan Greek of the Cretan soldier is priceless to listen to.

george-516 I found this movie a great example of the Greek character and also the nature surrounding it. The story is simple yet funny and very entertaining. Of course the movie is by Greeks for Greeks but I think with subtitles it can gain fans outside of Greece, except probably for the US where one will not be able to understand how a bunch of soldiers are dealing with a simple border incident in one of the most disputed parts of Greece. What is different here is that instead of the soldiers getting drunk and shooting everything that moves, they are getting romantically involved with their captives and entertain them while they are awaiting orders from their superiors.

giorgos_tsonis As a young Greek living in Canada I have to tell you this film is great. A lot of Greek films that I have seen are pretty good however they don't have the budget to make them very fancy with special effects and such, that's why for the most part they are not very successful. THis film however, has become a box office hit in Greece. You can tell by watching it that a lot of time and money has gone into making it. Out of all the Greek films shown in the theatres in Greece all these years and the thirty thousand or so tickets it sold proves it! It's a must see film for all greeks out there or for anyone who enjoys Greek films.
