Les trois frères

But when you are not French you cannot review or rate this movie well. French comedy you need to understand French thats it.

You just Never stop laughing in this movie, not even for a second ! Les Inconnus are the Greatest comedy genius in history. If you rate this one less than 9/10 then you re a Stranger or a crazy dude. This is gold 10/10.

Just plain hilarious... Even though the last 15 minutes are a bit less comical (you have to find an ending to these comedies... it's very often the less fun part), you need to see this movie... The actors are good and a lot of jokes made me go wild... even though I am unsure of their worth if they are to be translated... For all who speak French it's a must!! 9/10

It's the "Inconnus"'s first movie for the screen and they made a funny and entertaining comedy. But it's not sufficient to consider it as a masterpiece. Three men who are very different are discovering that they are brothers. They 're also discovering that they're going to inherit a fortune that used to belong to their mother. But the inheritance is cancelled and they must escape from the police, the notaries, the bailiffs. Now that they are in the street, they've got to beg for but at the same time, they're learning to know each other better.... The film won the Oscar for the First Best film in 1996 but did it really deserve it? The "Inconnus"'s performance is quite convincing and each of their character's personnality is well portrayed. It's a pity that they often ham it up. The screenplay is a bit of a mess and I am under the impression that it's a pretext for a succession of sketches where they are talking about leading subjects nowadays: unemployement, immigration etc.... Due to a big number of these sketches, the film never seem to end. Moreover, the secondary and minors actors are bad used. On one hand, they are left to themselves, like the notary; on the other hand, they're falling into the caricature like Rougemont who is the man who puts Didier Latour up, or the racist bailiff. I also noticed that most of the actors were talking very fastly and so it was difficult to understand them. Nevertheless, the film is often funny thanks to the dialogues and the comical situations but they aren't deprived of vulgarity. To sum up: a film which could have been better if it had been more controled.

This is an excellent comedy by "Les Inconnus", it was very successful in France and I recommend it to everyone that knows a bit about the french culture.

Possibly the funniest french movie I have seen in my life. Of course, one has to be found of « les inconnu »'s sense of humor. I believe this movie is a perfect introduction to their madness. Here, their story starts with the revelation of an inheritance and the chain reaction that succeeds. The "three brothers" was an instant success in France. It's no Hollywood style and the logic of it may not reach everybody's mind, except if you have been trained to laugh out loud at french humor (not as famous as french kiss, french windows, french slides and french fries (oups, liberty fries, sorry), but one of the best in the world, indeed. Enjoy.
