The English title, I'm afraid, sums up the film. Go to Full Review George Palathingal Sydney Morning Herald 04/10/2009
3/5
Without being in the same league as last year's brilliant In Bruges, the comedy here sometimes comes from a deliciously dark place. Go to Full Review Simon Foster sbs.com.au 08/09/2010
L'emmerdeur (A Pain In The Ass) goes through the motions smoothly, even lazily, providing increasingly-intermittent smirks rather than genuine belly laughs. Go to Full Review Mark Demetrius FILMINK (Australia) 04/10/2009
Alas, not for a minute does the viewer care about any character, though admittedly it's mildly diverting and intermittently funny -- and occasionally blackly or incongruously so. Go to Full Review Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 04/03/2009
I never saw the original, I can only dimly remember the Billy Wilder version but hey, it works well enough to deliver quite a few laughs. Go to Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile 04/02/2009
The physical comedy works well, and while the farce is perhaps oversize for the screen these days, it is nevertheless an entertaining and genial trip. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/29/2013 More annoying than funny, though it provides the occasional chuckle. See more 11/08/2012 anywere i can see this movie on the internet? See more jesse o 05/02/2012 Not a bad movie but it isn't particularly hilarious either. I think it tries too hard to be zany and wacky and it succeeds in certain scenes, but it felt, to me, a bit forced. The cast is decent but not particularly impressive. Really this movie didn't do a lot for me despite being average. It has its moments but definitely not enough to make the movie good. Infinitely better than The Darkest Hour however. See more 01/15/2012 πολυ καλη κωμωδια!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/25/2011 I was cracking up at how outrageous every scenario was. Very good movie! See more 02/06/2011 A typical French comedy. Just had to laugh really loud at times :) See more Read all reviews
