Audience Member Not that bad if you're in the right mood Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member La réalisation m'a complètement énervée. Je ne sais même pas ce qu'elle a de différente des autres, mais la caméra semble trop rapide, je ne sais pas trop. Ça reste comme la majorité des films de Louis de Funès: une comédie amusante lorsqu'on est dans le mood, mais sinon, c'est remplis de clichés et le tout est si prévisible! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Petros T A mixed bag. It has funny moments and de Funès is on good form, but it's brought down by a tendency to repeat the same jokes and by a disregard for plot and logic in order for the humour to work out. In general, the far from fleshed out sci-fi plot is clearly not the priority here, as the fifth, penultimate and up to then weakest "Le gendarme" movie feels like a collection of gags of varying quality, ranging from the well-played and moderately amusing to the unnaturally, artificially farcical. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid, can't appreciate such stuff. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It starts off like something decently funny but gets stuck in a loop of not fun Very nice shots of St. Tropez of 1979 though Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the great French comedies with Louis de Funés dubbed into Czech by Frantisek Filipovský in a never-to-be-forgetten way. A film like this one will make me always laugh. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
