Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This French comedy fondly lampoons both the popular French spy movies adapted from Jean Bruce's novels in the 1950s and '60s and the colonialist era they were set in.

fresh:
This light-hearted pastiche is a recommended antidote to 'Quantum of Solace'.

rotten:
I have never been a particular admirer of either James Bond or Austin Powers, and could hardly be expected to be overjoyed by a 'cross between them.' Hence, I was hardly surprised when I didn't crack a smile over the antics of Mr. Jean Dujardin.

rotten:
A lame comedy with a few decent laughs and several yawn-spawning set pieces that don't really go anywhere.
– Richard Nilsen,

fresh:
The French-made movie travels familiar ground, with a nod as well to Airplane!, Top Secret and that whole genre. Even compared to them, it pushes things just a little -- not too far, but toward the loony.
