Of course, don't expect here a masterpiece or any attempt to make an
original plot or anything like that : this is a mainstream production,
and all we should expect from it, is just to be funny, well-done, and
without bad taste ingredients. And so it is. A simple comedy, gentle,
with a good rhythm, and nice characters. In fact, not only the main
characters are good here, but everybody is, and the supporting actors
here have their place, and contribute to our pleasure. Jean Reno and
Michaël Youn compose a nice duet. There's not much that I can add.
Except that even if everything was easily expect regarding the plot,
what is never obvious to expect is that we'd have such a very good
time.
