RRRrrrr!!!

The casting is incredible. Jean Rochefort and Gerard Depardieu. The robin des bois team hand in hand with Alain Chabat.

Kind of humor you love or hate à la Monty Python. But with their own touch.

Already a Cult movie in France and abroad. And it is just the beginning.

I don't know whether the person who left the previous comment watched it in French or English, because that would probably make a big difference to the humour. I found that it contained a brilliant use of non-sense and 3rd degree sense of humour. Though some jokes can only be understood in French, as some of them can't be translated into English and still have the same meaning.

But if you understand relatively good French, or you have a French translator at hand, oh, and a good sense of humour, I would recommend watching it!I got a fair few laughs out of it, and my French isn't that great!

Just been invited to a preview of the movie, yesterday evening. There are some funny scenes and situations, but the audience never EXPLODED in laughter, like in "Astérix et Obélix Mission Cléopatre", also by Alain CHABAT. Swiss people can be quite fussy about funny movies, we do not always laugh for the same reasons as the Frenchmen, who actually MAKE these movies... But we still did laugh...

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 watched this film on cable last night, I was bored and looking for something to kill the time, but what a seemingly stupid film turned out to be a pretty interesting work which reminded me of our own lives (or probably just that I'm presuming too much).

The plot itself is pretty dumb, a 800 year war on shampoo and the history's first murder case. The dirty clan's plots to seize shampoo are downright moronic, but look at ourselves seriously, aren't there many things we do also equally stupid and useless? And about the stupid war, ah, the stupid war...

I don't speak french so I don't know how's the quality of the sub, but it did make me laugh, the film itself is funny, the actors, the music, the colours, it's just unreal and that's what makes it funny. The scene in which the camouflaged boss dreamed about the modern world is unbelievably superb. He was stoned, and of course he should be, and looked around with terror while the salesman rattled on without any change of expression like the presence of the strange man dressed in leaves surprised him not (or at least not showing it). The boss then had a recurring nightmare, or a trauma, something that might be subtle, but within all of us.

What's so great about this movie is that it parodies many aspect of our lives with seemingly stupid and childish approaches so successfully that I can't help laughing, at ourselves!
