For the first 15 minutes or so, "RRRrrrr!!!" feels fresh. Then you start to realize that most of its jokes are variations on the same joke: prehistoric people doing anachronistically modern things. It could have played around more with the "whodunit" aspect, but it refuses to do so - it shows you the murderer right at the moment of the murder. The film looks good, it has clever moments and at least one inspiredly surreal sequence (hint: supermarket), and Elise Larnicol is perfectly deadpan, but the comedy runs out of steam long before the end. Depardieu's participation is little more than an extended cameo. ** out of 4.

In 35,000 BC, the tribe of the Dirty Hairs is in war against the tribe of the Clean Hairs for eight hundred years, trying to get their shampoo. The chief of the Dirty Hairs (Gérard Depardieu) sends his daughter Guy (Marina Fois) disguised to the enemy tribe to get some shampoo for his tribe. When the healer of the Clean Hairs tribe (Alain Chabat) surprisingly kills two cavemen of his tribe, their imbecile chief (Maurice Barthélémy) assigns Pierre with curled hair (Pef Martin Laval) and Pierre blonde (Jean-Paul Rouve) to investigate the murder and find the criminal."RRRrrrr!!!" is a non-sense and silly, but also very hilarious French movie. I liked a lot this original comedy, which is forgettable, but reaches the target, giving 94 minutes of entertainment and laughs. Fortunately I did not pay attention of the underrated IMDb Rating of 4.8 and I decided to buy this worthwhile DVD. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "RRRrrrr!!! Na Idade da Pedra" ("RRRrrrr!!! In the Stone Age")

The French satire is made in the vein of films such as The Flinstones (I mean the original cartoon series, not the tenuous movie). So it was the absurdity of the situations that made me laugh through the whole movie. This might of course not be everyone's cup of tea, so if you don't find concepts introduced in an era when those things didn't yet exist funny then this movie will definitely not be your favorite. Also, if you don't laugh at the Mounty Python movies, it's not worth watching this film either. However, if you like distancing yourself from everyday things by looking at them set in the past and find the discrepancy between those modern concepts and the movie's era hilarious, you should no doubt watch RRRrrrr!!! I think it's worth at least a penny, or whatever the DVD costs.

I went to see this thinking that it was some Alain Chabat's work. If not always very subtle, his movies or shows are always funny. But RRRrrrr!!! is by the Robin des Bois, who count among the worst "humorists" of today, Chabat only has a small part and I really wonder what has gotten into him to make this film... In this movie, the few guests stars (Depardieu, Rochefort) really seem bored to death, there is one gag every ten minutes and it's not even funny, or it is the first time but not after having been overexploited over and over again. It might have been a funny short movie, there is enough material for an half and hour short, certainly not for a full-lenght feature.
