What happens

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is a 2016 American biographical war comedy-drama film, directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa and written by Robert Carlock. Based on the memoir The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan by Kim Barker, the adaptation's title spells WTF in the military standard NATO phonetic alphabet. The film stars Tina Fey, Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina, and Billy Bob Thornton and was released on March 4, 2016, by Paramount Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the acting but criticized the predictable screenplay and execution, and grossed $24 million against its $35 million budget.
