Le vieux qui ne voulait pas payer l'addition

Violence was never so funny, and so ridiculous. A great cure for worries of all kinds. The take on the cold war is charming. Perhaps it is too intellectual for some American viewers. I like also the multi-lingual dialogue. I had more fun watching this, and the original 100 year old man..., than I have had watching anything else I can remember.

A centenarian and his pal search for the formula to an addictive Soviet soda pop which became the focus of US-Soviet negotiations in the 1970s but has since been forgotten. I haven't seen the film to which this is a sequel, but as sequels go this is pretty good. The busy plot embraces a fairly large cast of eccentric individuals who are all given their time in the spotlight, but it centres around Swedish comedian Robert Gustafsson who gives a delightfully understated performance despite the repeated efforts of Crystal the monkey to steal the movie from him.

Following on from the first film this is equally absurd and bizarre.

Good performances again, but the monkey steals it.

Shame about the potty-mouthed Brit.

Not as funny as the 1st one but good nonetheless. You probably should watch them back to back to be familiar with all the characters following Allan.

Question for others that have seen this - Who do you think all the people in the 70's party scene were? The one with Amanda & Herbert Einstein? David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Timothy Leary? Any others?

The first film was a Forrest Gump wanna-be and it succeeded very well. The sequel is exacly the same, but a new story this time. It brings almost all the characters and same actors from previous film which add a lot of nostalgia. The filmmaking and style are exacly the same of this film, the pacing, jokes, everything's same but different. If you loved original this is a must watch.
