RRRrrrr!!!

In 35,000 BC, the tribe of the Dirty Hairs is in war against the tribe of the Clean Hairs for eight hundred years, trying to get their shampoo. The chief of the Dirty Hairs (Gérard Depardieu) sends his daughter Guy (Marina Fois) disguised to the enemy tribe to get some shampoo for his tribe. When the healer of the Clean Hairs tribe (Alain Chabat) surprisingly kills two cavemen of his tribe, their imbecile chief (Maurice Barthélémy) assigns Pierre with curled hair (Pef Martin Laval) and Pierre blonde (Jean-Paul Rouve) to investigate the murder and find the criminal.

"RRRrrrr!!!" is a non-sense and silly, but also very hilarious French movie. I liked a lot this original comedy, which is forgettable, but reaches the target, giving 94 minutes of entertainment and laughs. Fortunately I did not pay attention of the underrated IMDb Rating of 4.8 and I decided to buy this worthwhile DVD. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "RRRrrrr!!! Na Idade da Pedra" ("RRRrrrr!!! In the Stone Age")

This movie is one of the most enjoyable movies I have come across. All of the jokes are completely ridiculous, so you can just stop thinking and laugh. After the introduction to the movie, I couldn't stop laughing for over half a minute.

Now, if you are the type of person who exclusively likes movies which make you think (some of which are good), you will HATE this movie. If you just want to sit back and laugh at the incredible stupidity of all of the characters, this is the movie to do it with.

I watched the movie with subtitles, but having knowledge of French couldn't hurt. From the little French I know, I managed to pick up a few of the jokes missed in translation and laughed at some of the translations.

The French satire is made in the vein of films such as The Flinstones (I mean the original cartoon series, not the tenuous movie). So it was the absurdity of the situations that made me laugh through the whole movie. This might of course not be everyone's cup of tea, so if you don't find concepts introduced in an era when those things didn't yet exist funny then this movie will definitely not be your favorite. Also, if you don't laugh at the Mounty Python movies, it's not worth watching this film either. However, if you like distancing yourself from everyday things by looking at them set in the past and find the discrepancy between those modern concepts and the movie's era hilarious, you should no doubt watch RRRrrrr!!! I think it's worth at least a penny, or whatever the DVD costs.

If you're expecting a movie where you'll find Alain Chabat's humor, if you're expecting jokes like the ones he wrote with "les Nuls", you'll be disappointed. Don't go if you want to see the same kind of movie as Didier or Asterix 2. But, if you like the "Robins des Bois", you'll enjoy this movie, with absurd and non sense humour.

I saw this movie and absolutely ADORED it! however, i do speak french fluently, which might explain why, because the humor is typically french, and having lived amongst french and American people, i know that most English-speaking people will seriously not find this movie funny, be it in french or English. furthermore, these are the type of jokes that are only funny in the original language, which REALLY explains why people who saw it in English find it stupid. so chances are that if you didn't like it, either you didn't understand the humor, or you have a stick up your *** and are too cool for downright stupid comedy, because this movie is SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS.
