Waititi/Cohen isn't known for making high-brow films or masterpieces. He is more of an Adam Sandler than a Hitchcock.

This movie is much on the level we could expect from him.

The subject matter does give the feeling that there is a certain requirement for some directors to pay their dues by making a WWII movie of a certain type, and I don't mean saving Private Ryan.

The quality of the movie is - average.

It is meant to be a comedy but it is really only very low-brow in its delivery.

Stephen Merchant delivers the standout performance as Gestapo officer. If all of the movie was like this it might have made it. Unfortunately the worst seems are those with Waititi who is unconvincing in his mock-Hitler.

Wait until you can see it for free and can skip through.
