Le gendarme et les gendarmettes

This should be in the bible, a good final movie to a fun and funny franchise.

I rewatched all the "Gendarme" movies, classics from my youth, when you didn't have much choice too chose from. I'm a big fan of Louis de Funès so I never thought I would say it but I think enough is enough. This one is definitely the weakest of all the Gendarme movies. The plot is just not good. It's also borderline sexist and racist, maybe not for that time but certainly for this era. That said it's always fun to watch Louis de Funès, the man of thousand faces. Michel Galabru is also a great comedian and when those two form a pair it's just worth watching. It's a shame the plot is sometimes so dumb, a shame for those two great actors. From all the movies starring Louis de Funès I think this one is the weakest.

the end of series. and the last film of Louis de Funes. nice, predictable, seductive, a new idea who becomes pretext for new adventures, large doses of humor, Saint Tropez atmosphere and a great job of de Funes. few scenes - Karl Marx as lecture of a nun, beautiful troop-ettes and the romantic scene between Germaine and Ludovic are good points of a series who seems be the same but far to be boring. because all is charming - dialogues, gestures, story, confusions. and nostalgia is the perfect package for an easy story, naive and fresh , so far by present but useful for remember to it the basic truths.

The last movie of "Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez" franchise and the last one of the legendary Cruchot, who died the very next year. The movie is consistent with the style of its predecessors and nicely rounds the franchise. In my opinion, only the first one is better.

7,5/10

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.
