Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Charlot47 Enjoyable adventure full of fights, chases, lots of laughs and good clean fun with a resourceful hero (Jean-Paul Belmondo), trainer of the French boxing team, a beautiful journalist he fancies (Marie-France Pisier), a brave little German boy he takes a liking to (Rachid Ferrache) and a bear cub named Beethoven who just tags along. Starting in the air over the Western Front during 1916, the film moves from Paris to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin to Berchtesgaden. There the boy's Jewish family, trying to escape to Austria, end up by mistake in the Berghof and are welcomed, if that is the word, by Hitler's grim sister (Günter Meisner in drag). Given instruments and ordered to play music for the company, they alternate with a Bavarian oompah band on the terrace. In a surreal sequence, the dancers in Alpine costume switch between the local Schuhplattler and a swooping Jewish dance. To get the family over the frontier to safety, Belmondo dresses as an SS officer and steals the Führer's car. A light-hearted romp that does not conceal the darkness of the time when it is set or the worse that was to follow.

lalouxfrancois I don't know why but i just keep watching this movie with pleasure. Not a absolute classic, but that movie has a special "taste" that makes it so special in my eyes, and warms me in a strange way.Not the best work of Gerard Oury, but certainly his last very good one.Belmondo is perfect, as most other actors are.The story is absolutely not serious, but takes place during very dark times for Europe, giving a nice message behind the good laughs that you have.Give it a try, don't take it seriously and, if like me you are fond of Belmondo, you will certainly have a good time watching this film.Cheers

air-arabia This must me my Belmondo's all time favorite. Off course do not take it to serious, think it is historically correct or make the mistake to think it is realistic. Step into this movie with an open mind and you get rewarded because this is AN ALL TIME FAMILY COMEDY CLASSIC.An absolute magnificent combination of gags, jokes and fun during the Olympic Games in Berlin late 1930's. You can watch this one multiple times and it just gets better and better. Fantastic, an ultimate Comedy Movie. The part at Hitler's castle just doesn't get better than this. Outrageous.See it, Feel It and Enjoy it like I have done so many times. A winner!!!

GMTMaster This movie is a fine example of fun adventure, set in hard times. Belmondo plays french boxing coach, who travels to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Naturally he gets in all kind of trouble and saves a jewish family from deporation. Sound no fun? Well it is, the whole theme is played very light hearted and real fun to watch.
