Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

leplatypus Some movie get old well, other don't: this one is rather among the latter: I can't say it's bad but it is not as much fun as I thought it was. I watched it as a kid for sure but I can't remember if it was on screen or at TV. There is some funny moments and for sure this duo always works great and is among the best in french cinema but here the story is a bit far fetched: to find a goofy and unlucky woman in south America, the solution is to send a goofy and unlucky investigator… Well, like Gerard, I'm not really convinced and it's above all very repetitive and totally predictable… The Mexican locations adds a bit exoticism but at the end, it's not in my classics….

mikungfu-1 I saw this movie back in 1982 when I was about 12 years old. I couldn't stop laughing. Another 12 years later I finally got the VHS... I thought I wasn't going to find it so funny because I was 24 years old, but I laughed even more!.. And keep laughing to this day. The film must have been so successful that this trio (Veber/Depardieu/Richard) made 2 more movies afterward, all of them equally funny. The way the director generates humor from everyday situations, shows a keen sense of observation and a capacity for caricature of the ridiculous in human nature. If one manages to abstract from the fact that it is not exactly a recent movie and if one concentrates on the humor of the situations, attitudes, face expressions, etc... One will easily realize that it is not needed to behave like a clown, falling dressed on a swimming pool or smashing wedding cakes on someone's face... Or screaming vulgar words, to be funny. A true Golden "Oldie", and a definite must see!..

f2_begin This movie is by far the best comedy (french or otherwise) I have ever seen.If you haven't already seen it, it is a must. The story is totally original, it is delightful, smart, extremely funny and timeless. The casting is brilliant. Everybody knows that Pierre Richard is one of the best french comedian ever and his interpretation of "Pignon" is flawless, he is at the same time endearing, silly and funny. Nevertheless, in this movie, it is Gérard Depardieu's rough private eye character that, by far, steals the show. His interpretation of "Campana" alone his worth seeing. And, if for no other reason, you just have see how funny this "tough guy" can really be. He will make you double over with his strait to the point one liners. He is nothing less then hilarious. Truly a must.

Peter22060 Gerard Depardieu is incredible as a foil for Pierre Richard. This is occasionally shown on cable stations. Look for when it will appear and enjoy a wonderful comedy about a missing French Industrialist's daughter, and how she is found.This is the kind of movie that you don't really have to read the sub-titles. The acting leads you through the entire picture.
