Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

ebox999 the french humor i like so much at its best : authentic characters, breathtaking landscapes, vivid mimics, performed by a variety of great actors led by the staggering, shining at his best Christian Clavier.i adore this film.nice work of gerard krawczyk!

maorangina As the title says. Do not miss this movie. The movie line is rather simple, but it has something that makes you truly laugh! Very beautiful countryside. One of the brainless movies (do not have to think or judge but to relax). The acting is not too bad. What else. The language spoken is rather fast, hard for non-English people to pick up. France is always having the reputation of producing "funny comedies". Not like the American ones that sometime can be rather rude and vulgar, the French always has a classic taste to it. After all, it is part of Europeen culture rather than fast-consumption NA culture. For those comedy lovers, try this movie, you will not be disappointed.

kosmasp Actually as I just realized and seeing here on IMDb, it's a remake too. Well I haven't seen the original movie from the fifties, so I can't judge it by the standard the original set. I can only say, that this comedy is as dark as a dark comedy can be! I didn't even know that the director was responsible for Taxi 2-4 (a user here commented on this), but that doesn't change my feelings for this movie. I loved it, when I watched it a German Festival.The pacing is great, I loved the acting, the story is straightforward, without any minute to take a breath and or think about (plot holes or other minor story miss-happenings). It's the kind of movie, you can have a lot of fun with, if you allow yourself to, and of course, if you do like the kind of humor it portrays!

writers_reign I have nothing but the highest regard for Gerard Jugnot, Josie Balasko and Christian Clavier, all of whom are multi-talented and more than capable of directing a film like this so why they were content to put themselves in the hands of a guy whose directorial career peaked with Taxis 2,3 and 4 is anyone's guess. Unwisely the production company has left the names of Jean Aurenche and Pierre Bost, who wrote the great 1951 version where Fernandel, Julien Carrette and Francoise Rosay made, together with director Claude Autant-Lara, a minor masterpiece, and were I either Aurenche or Bost I would be very angry indeed to see my name linked to this tepid remake which not even the usually reliable Clavier can make much of; Clavier is, of course, a fine writer, witness Les Visiteurs but let's face it, Christian, you're no Aurenche. There are several changes: a monkey has become a bear, a snowman has become a scarecrow; a classic has become a bad joke.
