That was an excellent one.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I have only seen this film with subtitles and it is the only foreign film I have watched that I have forgotten, I was reading the subtitles in the first place. (I do not speak French)The film is a masterpiece. The second Ripoux contre Ripoux is good but Just an avenue to soak up a few franks in revenue for all involved and lacked the originality of the original, like many part two film's.Apart from the Godfather Etc. and Une Taxi Mauve, The Purple Taxi, Also with Phillipe Noiret is a forgotten gem. The comedy in Le Ripoux has never been matched since and everything just bonds, Writing ,Acting, Directing and Soundtrack, Yes I think this soundtrack added to the film.

Because of the timeless plot "Les Ripoux" remains one of my favourite comedies. The performance of all actors is excellent, but Noiret and Lhermitte are brilliant. A good story and an absolute reasonable scenery make this movie a pearl, towering miles above for example the usual Hollywood fast-food. Claude Zidi is not known for deep sophisticated dramas and "Le Ripoux" is also not falling in this category but believe me, the movie IS clever in a certain way. If your heart is with the little people and you never saw this movie, try to watch it soon because afterwards you will want the sequel as bad as the boss wants his medicine (would be too big a spoiler if I'd tell you what this is about). I can't wait to get all 3 DVD's. 10 thumbs up for this fantastic movie.

An excellent, funny and sad movie about being young, getting old, playing it straight and bending the rules. Cannot fail to engage: one of those movies the French do inimitably and best. DVD soon, please.

French farce with a twist. A charming piece, better watched in French with the English subtitles, for the full effect. An American production would be too slick, or too juvenile to re-make this, but I'm surprised a British unit has not, yet! Lovely character studies, a few surprises and a plot that offers humor, or humour, with some charming locations. Well worth watching if you can find it and enjoy the 'Diva', 'style of movie that the French are best known for.
