I've seen this movie in my childhood and remembered it as a funny one. Now i re-watched it with great pleasure! It's a light comedy about rather nice gangsters and an idea, that dogs can find something, that they really should not (imho). There are lots of funny moments and there is no low-quality humor. Lambert and Anconina are a very good couple for their roles; Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu is very nice as a "teacher" and other actors did their job well too. I am not fond of dogs, but it was a pleasure to watch after Hercule and Sherlock in this movie! Overall this film is much better (it is French! most of French films are good at least) then lots of comedies (especially American ones). I recommend to watch it and have a nice evening with your family!

I rate this movie 10/10 Of course it don't deserve 10/10 but his actual rate is so catastrophic ! Hercules&Sherlock is a cute movie for all the family, with jokes for everyone. It's a story of two dogs which can find false money end two mafioso losers. One (Christophe Lambert) try to be a tough guy and the other (Richard Anconina) who eat only pizza, listen zen music is totally terrified by dogs. The movie don't pretend to be a wonder, it's just funny and cute, dogs are amazing, look this movie alone or in family, you will pass a good moment. If i should make a comparison, Hercules&Sherlock remain me "THAT DARN CAT" with Dean Jones.Why ? Animal actors, false serious film, crazy characters.

When you make an American or French comic movie, the little you can do is showing originality, talent and sharpness. The director, Jeannot Swarc didn't seem to respect these rules. His movie, "Hercule et Sherlock" is far from being a success. The three adjectives that I would choose to describe this movie are: hollow, labored and uninspired. Moreover, he's using several threadbare topics and especially this one: two main characters with a different temperament and who are compelled to work and stay together. One of them is afraid of dogs (the sequence when Richard Anconina is eating a pizza like a dog is particularly laughable. Let's add uninspired dialogs that vainly attempt to make laugh and you get a movie which the comic often falls flat because it gives an impression of "déjà-vu". But you can prefer this movie instead of the dismaying "soeurs soleil" made by the same director.

I didn't understand much of the dialog itself.. but, body language, facial expressions, situations themselves told the whole story. I loved it. Chris smoking and Richard throwing it out the window.. Chris throwing the radio out the window in retaliation! It was the funniest, warmest, most human film I have seen him in in a long time. Way to go, Chris.. Now, go make some more, please?
