Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

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

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

josephmpapp Christian Clavier does well when he plays a normal guy and his character works. Jack Palmer (Remi François) is about as straight and narrow as they come. He's good at his job and he doesn't get too distracted. The opening sequence does well to establish his character. He gets pulled into the criminal world of Corsica as he searches for Ange Leoni to let him know about a 2 million euro inheritance. Catherine Munro is Gorgeous. I couldn't take my eyes off of her for the whole film. She plays Lea, the sister of Agne Leoni (played by Jean Reno). Lea is a smart and beautiful woman who takes a liking to Remi and that doesn't bode well for Ange. As Remi and Lea become closer, Ange becomes more upset and pulls Remi further into the Corsica lifestyle. It's got some good humor and beautiful scenery.But it falls apart. Some of the jokes and editing don't work for the story. The acting, as far as I can tell, is decent. It's just not as good as it could be. There's something about the flow of scenes that falls short and it doesn't pay off in most scenes. In the end, you would do well to enjoy the scenery (I'm talking Catherine Munro), but you wouldn't be missing much if you didn't watch the whole film.

bertrandlf A good portrait of Corsica, those who know this part of France will definitely enjoy it. Many actors are actual residents of Corsica, and the ambiance is nicely translated.Even though the scenario isn't very complicated and elaborated, the story keeps you in and melts with the various aspects of Corsica : beautiful scenery, good charcuterie, good cheese, strong character (chants Corses, gangs preventing over-building), and of course the exquisite Myrte.Christian Clavier and Jean Reno fit their role very well, a good movie that will make you laugh and want to visit this beautiful part of France.

Luigi Di Pilla I heard from this funny movie when I spent my summer holidays 2005 on the isle of Corsica with my family. Fortunately I had the opportunity watching it on the ferry leaving the isle. I have to say that it's long time ago I didn't see such a great film. It shows many parodies about Corsicas political and cultural life mixed with very nice setting places of this beautiful isle. Christian Clavier and Jean Reno did a very solid job and were very cool. If you want to spend a relaxed evening then don't miss it. If you enjoyed it I highly recommend to see another great fun movie starring Jean Reno in "Tais-Toi". You won=t regret it. My vote with my wife is 6 out of 10.

hakapes Here on the European continent we have the luck to have some good titles from independent studios to freshen up the much standardized Hollywood look. What is more, when such a film comes, it is usually a quality movie so it can keep up with the competition from the US. Therefore I really hoped that after L'Opération Corned-Beef, Les Visiteurs, Tais-toi!, the name of Jean Reno and Christian Clavier, will be a guarantee for a good 2 hours to laugh at - however I hardly had a few minutes to smile tonight.Christian Clavier plays a detective (Rémi or Jack Palmer) who is sent with a fake story to Corse, to look up Ange Léoni (Jean Reno), leader of the a local terrorist-separatist group. There he meets the stunning sister of Ange, Léa (Caterina Murino) and a lot of trouble.Unfortunately, despite the good setup and some good names from French comedy, the interpretation is quite week. The almost Miss Italy Caterina Murino playing the sexy diva was the only point of attraction keeping our attention on the screen, at least that of the men audience. Otherwise, frame after frame, the story was getting more and more complicated, ages away from reality, with even more overacting and exaggerated jokes each time. The action movie sequences were of original idea but the usual problem of French action movies, the lack of money, showed.You can skip this one in peace - 4/10.
