    I first saw this movie in the mid-80's and thought that it was one of the consistently funniest movies that I had ever seen. Watching it again, more than 20 years later, I laughed just as much. Great comic acting and classic humor.

    The movie is great but if you are not French, you will have a lot of problems reading CC (close captions).

    Oh, my goodness! This is French comedy at its best, and one of Gerard's best films, in my opinion. The comedy is timeless. OK, you have CC to deal with, but if you can read, you will laugh at this film. Too funny; tres amusant!
