Louis und seine verrückten Politessen

Well, we have the last film about famous French policemen. We may ask if it will enchant us with something new. Actually yes. Everyone who has seen previous parts and enjoyed them should take a look at this one.

In my opinion, the plot isn't boring. As for humour, you won't be let down. However, I must admit that some of stuff is pretty similar to that seen before. But after all it is a small drawback and of course Louis de Funes did a good job as usual. It is one of the last films with him (or even the last one!).

On the whole, we get a sensible end of the serial. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

The gendarme and the gendarmettes is the sixth and final film in the beloved Gendarme series, and it closes the franchise on a high note. Louis de Funès reprises his role as the bumbling yet lovable Sergeant Cruchot, this time dealing with a new batch of recruits - all women, the "gendarmettes." The premise alone sets the stage for plenty of humorous misunderstandings, clashing personalities, and delightful chaos.

De Funès is once again in top form, delivering a performance that showcases his comedic talents to the fullest. The film is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, from physical comedy to witty dialogue, making it a treat for both longtime fans and newcomers. The interactions between Cruchot and the new recruits are particularly funny, highlighting the generational and gender clashes in a light-hearted way.

The film retains the charm and humor that have made the Gendarme series so beloved. It's the kind of comedy that never gets old, no matter how many times you've seen it. I find myself returning to this film time and again, and it always brings a smile to my face. It's a fitting end to a series that has provided so much joy and laughter over the years.

I give the gendarme and the gendarmettes a 9/10 for its humor, nostalgia, and the fantastic performance of Louis de Funès. It's a wonderful farewell to a character and a series that has become a staple of French comedy.

While the movies in general paid tribute to women in general, finally some are coming into the work force. Not without the usual (sexist) jokes. But the movie is able to swerve away from that a little bit. We get to see powerful women/characters, who also happen to be beautiful. Again not saying it gets everything right, but it does try.

So while you could view this as a step in the right direction, it still has to balance the jokes and de Funes at what he is best at. It's not the best of the 6 movies series, but it does what it is supposed to do. If you liked the ones before (timeline and continuity be damned), then go ahead and have fun with this too

I'm a big fan of Louis de Funès, but this movie wasn't very good.

To begin with: I think the plot wasn't interesting, just another kidnapping drama that we already have seen several times. The jokes were a little silly. I think about the scene were Gerber says that Cruchot peed in his bed at the age of 14. Another example: the scene where one of the gendarmettes loses her skirt, over all I think that there was too much nudity humor.

On the positive side we have the acting. The gang from "Le gendarme et les extra-terrestres" is back with de Funès, Michel Galabru, Claude Gensac, Guy Grosso, Michel Modo, Patrick Préjean, Maurice Risch and Jacques Francois. They all make a very good job as usual. The actresses who plays the gendarmettes were okay, even if there acting wasn't breath taking.

Over all, a pretty mediocre movie. But at the same time it holds a certain atmosphere since it was the last film made by de Funès and director Jean Girault. I give it five stars.

Officer Ludovic Cruchot's(Louis De Funes) along with his outfit(Maurice Risch, Grosso and the chief, Michael Galabru, though isn't Jean Lefevre) are transferred to new and modern Gendarmerie Nationale with computer included. When appear four Gendarmettes the gendarmes group is revolutionized. Then two Gendarmettes are kidnapped by an issue of secret codes and Cruchot goes into action. He's secretly moving in disguise, dressing as woman.

This agreeable French comedy about the sympathetic gendarmes contains enjoyable humor, brief intrigue, too much fun and lively situations. There's a certain critical to the French customs and especially a banter of French Police called Gendarmerie. Louis De Funes, as always overacting , he puts faces, grimaces, stooges, tongue twister and lots of gesticulation . This is a pretty amusing farce with the master comic Funes in his usual role. Claude Gensac as his habitual wife, she collaborated with Funes in ten films, often acting his character's spouse. Fine local photography and atmospheric musical score with catching leitmotif by Raymond Lefevre. The motion picture is well made by customary director, Jean Girault. Picture is a Funes vehicle, he's a real comic and authentic farceur. If you like Funes' crazy interpretation you'll enjoy this one. This is the last picture from Cruchot series, another films are : The Gendarme and the creatures from outer space; The Gendarme takes off; The Gendarme get married; Gendarme in N.Y. and the classic, The Gendarme of St. Tropez.
