a bad-known jewel

[Nathan Dreiberg · 7/10 · 7 August 2001]

this film is one of the funniest comedy when u like absurd humor. without any money the five heroes who will be known as "les inconnus" on french stages and comedies already show how they can make people laugh.

Completely absurd? Yes... but so good!!!

Don't you just hate those comedies when you feel the joke coming two hours before the punchline?? well, I absolutely hate it, and in this movie, it just never happens, always surprised, and that's what I really liked about it... This marked the beginning of the career for "Les Inconnus" probably the most famous humorists there are in France... but I still preferred their next comedy: "Les trois frères" Still pretty good... 8/10

Very good, very funny - a typical French comedy !

It was very fun movie. Something like french version of The Police Squad!, with typical good french humor AND typical Police Squad jokes. Watching it I thought, that maybe (I say just "maybe"), besides Police Squad, it has the influence on Naked Gun creators, too ? Some jokes was extremely close...

But why it's so underrated and not well known even in France ?..
