Jean Ducardin is really charismatic and witty as a French James Bond parody, taking in the confidence and social ignorance of Connery

Una excelente parodia a James Bond, con momentos brillantes.

Breezy and witty spy comedy. Not hilarious (maybe it’s the language barrier), yet worth watching. Austin Powers’ pulpy French cousin.

Decent spy comedy. Probably a bit overrated among French millennials, but overall it's funny enough

So fucking funny. Dry, awkward, and perfectly timed. A spy parody that commits completely and crushes.

Thomas Eyob Yohannes

Hilarious! Get ready to hurt your chest laughing.

Pretty good parody of spy movies like James Bond

Gabriel Sainte-luce

Un classique de la comédie française. Une pléiade de phrase cultes comme toujours mais parfois un peu lourd

I just... couldn't keep up and stay for the jokes. Seems to be an idolated me issue, but all the jokes fell flat. Good Dujardin performance.

Valentin Bridonneau

Classic french comedy. I slightly prefer the second movie but this first episode still has killer scenes.
