Set in occupied WWII France, War of the Buttons tells the tale of pre-teen rebel Lebrac (newcomer Jean Texier) and the "war" he leads between two rival kid gangs from neighboring villages. Once Lebrac falls for Violette (Ilona Bachelier), a young Jewish girl who is new in town and in danger of being exposed by the Nazis, the children are faced with putting their own conflicts aside to protect her and confront the very real war happening around them. -- (C) Weinstein PG-13

Movie Overview For War of the Buttons
In 1950, in South Korea, shoe-shiner Jin-tae Lee and his 18-year-old old student brother, Jin-seok Lee, form a poor but happy family with their mother, Jin-tae's fiancÃ© Young-shin Kim, and her young sisters. Jin-tae and his mother are tough workers, who sacrifice themselves to send Jin-seok to the university. When North Korea invades the South, the family escapes to a relative's house in the country, but along their journey, Jin-seok is forced to join the army to fight in the front, and Jin-tae enlists too to protect his young brother. The commander promises Jin-tae that if he gets a medal he would release his brother, and Jin-tae becomes the braver soldier in the company. Along the bloody war between brothers, the relationship of Jin-seok with his older brother deteriorates leading to a dramatic and tragic end.

Review For War of the Buttons

Barratier can't seem to do anything with it other than keep raising the violence and anger.
Tom Keogh-Seattle Times

The two threads aren't really woven together into the sort of tight, overarching theme that the film seems built to convey.
Tom Russo-Boston Globe

Though it's handled with little subtlety, the way the atmosphere of suspicion in Vichy France filters down to the kids is a smart slant on the material.
Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times

Seeing the French Resistance through the eyes of little kids yields a cutesy, simplistic and sentimental would-be fable in "War of the Buttons."
Kyle Smith-New York Post

It does not attempt to provide a complete or even vaguely realistic depiction of the rural French resistance in the endgame to World War II.
Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle

The slick filmmaking - the movie has a glossy, Hollywood-ready feel that sometimes tips into the cutesy - works against its themes.
Rachel Saltz-New York Times

Although it's updated to World War II and alludes to the Holocaust, this golden-hued remembrance is about as horrific as "Hogan's Heroes."
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

WWII drama is overly cute but has worthy lessons for tweens.
Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media

The cast is fine, especially the boys, and the cinematography lush and wistful, but the score is pure fromage and the storyline sacrifices tension for romance.
Peg Aloi-Boston Phoenix

It's a pretty familiar story, but it's done with tender care and definite style. Director Christophe Barratier fills the movie with a refreshing sense of wonder, imagination and innocence.
Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine

"War" feels very much like a Disney made-for-TV movie from a few decades ago with its simple solutions to complex problems and its endless close-ups of begrimed, adorable faces.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

Ultimately there's only marginally more edge to this treatment of World War II than there is to the average episode of "Hogan's Heroes."
Marc Mohan-Oregonian

Young Texier holds the screen and could be a star in the making.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews

Adorable but sentimental, an earnest whitewash of a painful period during World War II.
Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine

The film's trailer doesn't lie. What you see is what you'll get ... A warning for those who can't watch The Sound of Music all the way through: the adorable factor hits the roof
Kent Turner-Film-Forward.com

Barratier makes the viewing event obvious in theme and location, yet his classic Hollywood approach results in a satisfyingly glossy, endearingly acted movie.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com

World War II-set tale of children from neighboring towns who battle each other has some cute moments, but unsuccessfully walks the line between a light coming-of-age story and serious subject matter.
Sarah Sluis-Film Journal International

Though this version transplants the tale to World War II, it doesn't try for any nuanced commentary on the conflict.
Alison Willmore-AV Club
