TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Nicholas Rhodes Although this film actually came out in 2006, I have just now got round to seeing it. I remember at the time when it came out, many people were complaining that it was not as good as the original two films. In fact, the film is a reasonally praiseworthy successor to the other two and notably to the first one which, if I am not mistaken, takes place in Senegal. In fact, I found the second film, which takes place in the snow, decidedly more boring than the first. This third effort, manifestly made on the island of Sardinia, is more in keeping with the first original. The difference is that at the time of the original film, the morals of the film were a shock to the public. Today, the morals of the film remain the same, but public moral standards have declined so much (in my opinion) so that the film's morals do not shock any more and the film is therefore a disappointment to those who were expecting something even more "outré". I hasten to add that I in no way identify with the morals of this film - notably on the subject of infidelity which I find horrifying but I try to regard the whole film as something not to be taken seriously. The humor of the film is an extension of "Le Père Noël est Une Ordure" with the same gestuals and expressions, and it is easy to enjoy the performances of actors one has known for many years. The humour is (a) typically French and (b) within that domain, at the bottom end of the scale of finesse and subtlety, i.e. it is light years away from the likes of Fernandel, Bourvil, de Funès, Richard/Depardieu et alia. But there are some original touches and real comedic talent - I do like Martin Lamotte/Dominique Lavanant, and Thierry Lhermitte, and have a lot of admiration of Jugnot, though his rôle here is really not one of his best. However I am clavier-allergic, and I imagine many other people are too - they guy is just unbearable whatever the part he takes - and Marie-Anne Chazel is reasonably funny but not a ball ! On the other hand I do have soft spot for Michel Blanc with his pseudo-American expressions, and I have always found this actor to have a lot of talent which could be better used in other circumstances. Picture quality wise, the film is abysmal - everything seems overly yellow and it is a real shame that such a beautiful setting as Sardinia could not have been filmed in natural colors. I also mention the low audio quality and whilst liking the title song, would have preferred it to be sung in Italian rather than Spanish - there is something that defies all logic here but I can only conclude that the film director was under the misapprehension that the island of Sardinia was part of Spain !!

Kassdhal I have very mixed feeling for this movie. I am, like many Frenchmen of my generation, in complete adoration for the first three movies the band has made (Les Bronzes, Les Bronzes font du ski, Le pere Noel est une ordure).Thus, I was expecting this movie to make me laugh as much as these "big" three.The result is disappointing, without being able to differentiate between the objective assessment of the movie and the - excessive? - expectations I had. I may have been deceived because I was expecting too much, regardless of the movie where, As usual Lhermitte is great.I find the part of Dominique Lavanant too incredible and it hurts the whole movie who could have been much better without this.As a whole a better than average movie that could only deceive the fans of the first "big three".Asn to address the point, it seems to me that the movie is too french, too full of enjoyable political incorrectness and of references to be even understood to the minimum level by a non french-speaker

whousseaux Well, after waiting more than 27 years, the third installment is very funny! Seeing all these actors playing the same roles is simply amazing!!! Fast pace, quick jokes, well, I really loved it! This movie had budget in comparison with the two other movies, and it shows! After seeing it, Bronzes 1 & 2 were simply "B-Serie" funny movies. Christian Clavier simply steals the show! Michel Blanc is completely transformed and funnier than previous movies. And let's not forget a great play from couple Balasko/Jugnot. They are unbelievable!!! Whatever the critics said, I had fun watching it and I am sure that all actors had fun making the movie!!! Period! Enjoy it!

pangias With my blonde we watched, les Bronzes 1 and 2, we had a lot of fun, and for myself a bit of nostalgia, so we went to see les bronzes 3 last night.At the beginning, we were happy to see such iconic characters, but after a third of the movie, we saw it was pointless.The plot line is very mediocre, the character have not evolved, they truly lost the magic touch of their youth.I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone even on DVD.Craps. And, i'm French, i'm fan of the early splendid, it's not a question of cultural divide between french and other country, this movie is pure crap, written by talented people, but without inspiration.
