Rien à déclarer

This movie mainly interested me for it's principal subtext.

The overall mediocre comedy, which sometimes offers loud laughters, and the main intrigue itself is passable.

But, as said, the message of tolerance Is what makes the movie stand out from other like-minded comedies.

The movie exemplifies brilliantly the futility of endless bickering and hate towards your literal neighbors. It shows that, while mostly enshrined in geographical features, are still powerful imaginations in the minds of people.

This does not mean that one should forget his national heritage in a process of transnationalisation or to completely deny the less formidable aspects of another culture, but rather that one should embrace the cultural richness and simple humanity of one's surrounding.

Because the idea of Europe is one of tolerance and altruism. And it should be wholeheartedly defended, in my point of view.

I loved this movie! I've just seen it tonight as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival and thoroughly enjoyed it. The entire cinema was in hysterics. I haven't laughed so much in a movie for a long time. I'm not a film snob. I'm not looking for fine film-making or clever, or thought provoking movies, necessarily. There are some widely acclaimed movies out there that I didn't enjoy, while often movies that are slammed by the critics, I really enjoy. I just love to be entertained, and this movie did exactly that. Were some of the jokes childish? Yes, but it was so funny that it didn't matter. The actors were really believable and did an awesome job. Rien a Declarer - awesome! I absolutely do want to own this movie on DVD.

I'm getting older and I'm looking at French comedies more and more often.

Not so long ago I watched something similar with the same director and actor in one of the main roles.

Well, as usual, there is almost nothing to say. The film is short and funny. What else does comedy need?

Someone might say that a good comedy also needs an interesting plot and half of the film should be devoted to drama. To which I will answer: She doesn't need it.

If a comedy is funny, then it's a good comedy. That's all!

Although the plot here is really interesting. By itself, it's simple, but that's how it plays out and how all the jokes fit into it. This is very well done.

Humor is a funny thing ... especially when it's a movie coming from France and has Danny Boon starring in it. Of course you might have an aversion to the guy (which would be unfortunate), otherwise you might be delighted watching him, even in the craziest situation, because he can even pull those off.

The plot is not that complicated, patrolling the "border", making sure nothing illegal happens, but the situations that ensure due to characters decision and the consequences are really funny. Of course they could also be tragic at times, but this is not a drama and it is made clear very early on ... which should also be an indicator if this is a movie you'll enjoy to watch or not

I didn't laugh until I cried but I smiled a lot and overall I had a good time. The main characters are nice (except for the girlfriend, her acting was bad imo) and the plot is cute (although a bit basic)
