Brilliant and touching

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

For French people and well-understanding French speaking people an absolute must see !As said in the comment's title, I wonder why it's not well/better known...Why not, really ?It's hilarious, delirious, and with some quiet inoffensive slang...So that any grown-up person who is a movies lover could almost laugh all along the movie.The French dialogue fits completely to the expressive attitude of the actors,with even the lips movements which could make us think it is not an invented one, but the real original English lines...With plenty ironic light trashy permutations of the original English dialogues and meaning of the scenes.Without knowing the movies in which the different parts have been taken and assembled, for sure the fun can't be the same... :-(I define myself as a wide-open movie lover, from classic to martial arts (except horror :-),and especially comedies but I never heard about this fantastic one before yesterday,as someone mentioned it on a computer info's sharing site, to my great surprise.Read straight afterward the excellent reviews here on the site...Could find it and watched it in the evening... What a pleasure ! So many laughs ! Just perfect !For comedy lovers : a must see !!!Unfortunately and for once the Anglo-American speaking audience will miss this one... :-) *** a film is never really good unless the camera is an eyes in the head of a poet Orson Welles ***

I'm still wondering how Canal + may have produced such a bombshell...Producing a movie sampling so much 70s classics surely was a producer's nightmare but, hey, it was worth the pain! George Abitbol, aka John Wayne, aka the hippest man on earth, disappears leaving only a few words..."Shitty world". Reminds you of Citizen Kane? Well, that's it and this is not the only movie you'll be thinking of, as the whole movie is sampled from all-time classics, with Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford or Steve Mc Queen on his trail...You'll also have cameos of Ernest Borgnine, Jean-Michael Vincent and so on...In fact, if you happened to watch TV during the last 2 decades, you have already seen that movie, just not in that order! The work on the editing of the whole is simply brilliant, and should be studied in any audiovisual school... If you love stupid humor, irreverence and smart dumb-a$$ jokes, this one is for you!If there was a reason to learn french, this is it, as I really don't know how this can be translated... This is definitely a must-see for anyone willing whether to pee his pants, or learn french or editing.Run for it!

What the words "Monde de merde" (fucking world) means ? Is it a name ? Is it a woman's ? Is it a horse's ? Or is it a sledge's ? On a story based on Citizen Kane, three journalists, Dave (Paul Newman), Peter (Dustin Hoffman) and Steven (Robert Redford), are investigating the life of George Abidbol (John Wayne) after his mysterious death, searching the meaning of his last words "Monde de merde". But wait a second... a french film with Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford and John Wayne ??? No, I didn't drink too much. Actually, this "flim" is a mix of many old films, dubbed in french with silly dialogues which don't have any sort of link with originals. And that makes one of the funniest film I've ever seen !!!

Take a bit of El Dorado, a bit of President's men, a part of Citizen Kane, (etc.), keep the usual dubbing French voice but create another story... Unique, hilarious, perfect
