Les clefs de bagnole

I think it is a "cult" movie! But his theater distribution was awful and it was never released on TV! So who cares? And you have to understand french culture references and appreciate the "Baffie 's sense of humor" in contradictions, no-senses, etc. If you want to see this movie like another "french comedy", you will be disappointed. It 's because this movie is so different of the others, Baffie broke all the movie codes and it is why it is so funny! (talking to the camera, false background projections, image in black&White because of lack of budget!) I think this movie should be compared to ZAZ movies like Air Plane, Top Secret and so one.

In France, people tend not to understand absurd humour. The Francis Veber vaudeville type of comedy and vulgar, obnoxious stuff such as "Les Bronzés" are what they like best. No wonder the critics slagged off movies such as "Les Clefs de Bagnole" or "RRRrrrr !". They don't even understand what can be funny about these films. However, if you're into Monty Python humour, or the wackiness of Steven Soderbergh's Schizopolis, chances are you will definitely elevate "Les Clefs de Bagnole" to the rank of a cult classic. I found this to be highly refreshing as well as a great satire of film-making and the movie business. Highly recommended to all open-minded people worldwide !

The movie is a blast, i have never watched anything like this before.Most of the person i have seen the movie with was totally disappointed.They were expecting a funny movie.However it worked on me.It s not a question about french jokes or what, it s the way Baffie makes it. Insolent, pitiful, stupid??? Maybe, but according to me, the movie will get a better public later on. It s like a Van Gogh creation, people will admire it few years later.At least a risk-taker.I was told that the director was really affected by the french public rejects.I'm proud not to be one of them.Mr Baffie, keep on!And even if the trailer said 'dont go watching it, it s a crap !', its an original.Can we have some more?

This film has to be **the** worst film I have ever seen in my entire life!

The story line is non existent and the Laurent Baffi was as bad as on T.V. The only way that movie ever made it to big screen is that he crammed it with famous actors that appear for 10 seconds at a time. The humor is appalling (I felt it was non existent)... I stayed until the end because I really hoped the ending would save the day but sadly the end is as bad as the rest of the movie.

I don't usually write comments... especially not like this one, but this really was a waste of time and money and I thought it should be said.

I ended up going to see that movie cause i sort of like Laurent Baffie's nasty humor. And at the beginning i have to say there is nothing to be disappointed about. Unfortunately after half an hour you realize you don't laugh anymore and little by little it gets longer and longer. Even if you're aware that the film is purposely pointless ( who would care about a guy who lost his car keys?) you cannot but let go big yawns during the strange scenes and (yes) the few good ideas. I clearly understood good ideas don't necessarily make good movies. Just do as the trailers say : "don't go see that s**t!" Now you're warned...

i rated it 5 out of 10 cause of this terrific tagline. Yes sometimes taglines work...
