    Simple yet surreal comedy

    A story of two simple-minded losers who discover a giant fly and try to train it to earn money. It's a completely nonsensical film, but at the same time hilarious and captivating. The main actors (Grégoire Ludig and David Marsais) form the French comic duo "Palmashow".

    TORO!

    Being a father of a two year old and a 6 month old, I haven't had time for movies in quite a while and I'm an avid film buff. I finally had the chance to watch a film and picked this one from a friend's suggestion. Watching Mandibles made me feel like my old self again watching a foreign film and seeing one so unique and creative, yet a familiar buddy-comedy where they get themselves in a situation and we enjoy the journey. I loved watching this and the feeling I had wishing it wasn't going to end. I'm excited to see more from this director and for my kids to grow up and enjoy these films with me.

    Original Comedy

    This Is for sure one of the most original comedies i've watched in the last years.

    Overall the movie Is just decent, good for few laughs, what gave me the greatest joy was right the ending scene, that alone will pay you off the whole ticket.

    Loved This Multiverse Samuel Beckett of Bill Rosencrantz & Ted Guildenstern

    Mandibles was what I was hoping for. I wasn't expecting a multiverse Bill & Ted adventure by Samuel Beckett but I was thourghly pleased for the ride. It left me with a smile and a good time. Though it also left me hoping for a sequel or a mini series of the possibilities. I loved the anti-hero's and the fly was awesome.

    I've watched it twice and found it even funnier the second time.

    Watching the how something happened on a second viewing is always enjoyable with Quentin's films.

    One thing I'd like to add is the film has the best focus pulling out side of cartoons from back in the day to tell jokes by directing sight.

    What's the buzz?

    Just a fun, quirky, sweet film about two guys and the fly who helped them realise what friendship is all about.

    • Trivia
      The fly was a combination of puppet and a costume worn by the dog that also featured in the film.
    • Goofs
      A fly of this size with its strength scaled up proportionately would easily be able to break the kind of tape used to restrain it.
