    Improbable and entertaining

    In the great tradition of Quentin Dupieux's films, the absurd or the bizarre serve as a common thread in this film. I found the two main characters played by the Palmashow duo a bit too stupid and their hollow dialogues (finding some "Steak" gimmicks with their tchecks), but the fly and the other characters managed to captivate me. Special mention for Adèle Exarchopoulos in pathological crier, and India Hair that I always enjoy seeing. In summary the film and its effects are mastered, just as its staging is neat, it made me smile, I let myself be carried away in his singular universe as in all of Dupieux's films, which remind me of my desire to '' be a director and have confidence in the D system and ignore the conventions. not to be missed for fans of Mr oizo's achievements and for others out of curiosity.

    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.

    French Bill and Ted get Fly - Toro ftw

    It almost doesn't matter what I write as a summary line and I mean no disrespect to Bill and Ted, their movies or their fans. You'll like this if you enjoyed the movie and you won't if you didn't ... or at least think I'm exaggerating. I really think this deserves the crown I'm giving it and while it is far out (big Fly anyone?), this is as a friend said, one the directors movies that kind of make sense/is coherent.

    That may not mean much considering how crazy this still is. And it does not take prisoners or care about being sensible or being too aggresive. If this tickles your funny bone, you'll have quite the fun with it. Predictable in some way, but only if you think that way ... and a perfect ending! I almost wish there would be a remake (which has never happened with his movies yet)

    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.

    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".

    • Trivia
      Director Quentin Dupieux claimed that he pitched the movie as a mix between E.T. and Dumb and Dumber.
    • 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.
