dewit_jacco Don't rate movies that often with a 10 (for there's always that could've been better), but this one is just super! A very (and I mean: VERY) entertaining movie, with both main actors in roles they both perform with an abundance of finesse. It was great to see Reno perform the character he is so well know for. The moment where he looses his 'cool' (you be the judge of when exactly that happens), gives the movie that special 'switching moment' (like you'll know it will from the moment it starts) - and I guess for everyone it's a different moment; but it'll be there, trust me on that one.I'll try not to spoil anything (I therefore checked the 'contains spoiler' box - don't want to mess your evening up), but Depardieu is at his best in this movie (as is Reno, by the way - though Gerard plays his characters extraordinarily good!).Sit down, grab a beer and some Californinan walnuts (for example) and guzzle down this absolutely great movie. You'll enjoy it, believe me you will! Cheers, as I'm gonna watch it again.Jules

AlbertTurnerIII I've always been delighted with Gérard Depardieu's performances, so, even though "Tais-toi!" ("Shut-up!" to me, and aptly titled!) was aired in French, (and, since I'm in Argentina, with Spanish sub-titles—also a language beyond me!), I had to watch it. Armed with my French/English dictionary, which I barely needed, I was in hysterics from the onset! Gérard Depardieu paired with Jean Reno's deadpan was just too much—both superb actors! Ignoring my phone ringing, and the doorbell, I was simply on the floor with laughter! So, the next time I found it was to be aired, I had a French- and Spanish-speaking friend translate the sub-titles for me; and the script turned out to be as brilliant as the performances! My recommendation thus is, regardless of whether or not you understand French, don't miss this gem of a production! Albert.

michelerealini That's another movie of great Francis Veber, the master of French comedy. After masterpieces like "La chèvre", "Le diner des cons" and "Le placard" Veber creates a new story, where two prisoners escape from jail. Veber's formula is always the same: putting together two people who have nothing in common, like a cat and a dog. From that we have many situations of misunderstandings.The film is fun, although not among the best Francis Veber works. The first part is great and lively, in the second one the movie loses some speed and the story is less exciting.Some moments are nevertheless memorable, for example all the prison scenes and the beginning of the friendship between Gérard Depardieu and Jean Reno. These situations are really hilarious!Depardieu and Reno are big actors and work well together. Dialogs, once again, are the main ingredient in Francis Veber style.Not a masterpiece, as I said, but enjoyable.

Luigi Di Pilla I watched this funny film on DVD with our family during our summer holidays 2005 in Nice, South of France. I have never heard before and I have to admit that this was one of the funniest films I've ever seen and I never laughed so much as here. Gérard Dépardieu and Jean Reno were incredibly full of fun in their roles as thieves and delivered an extraordinary performance. At the beginning I didn't recognize Dépardieu because he had a completely changed look and I mean it in a positive way.I highly recommend to see it. Rating: 8/10. If you liked it don't miss the other fun movie starring Jean Reno in "L'Enquiète Corse".
