Mandíbulas

A story of two simple-minded losers who discover a giant fly and try to train it to earn money. It's a completely nonsensical film, but at the same time hilarious and captivating. The main actors (Grégoire Ludig and David Marsais) form the French comic duo "Palmashow".

Being a father of a two year old and a 6 month old, I haven't had time for movies in quite a while and I'm an avid film buff. I finally had the chance to watch a film and picked this one from a friend's suggestion. Watching Mandibles made me feel like my old self again watching a foreign film and seeing one so unique and creative, yet a familiar buddy-comedy where they get themselves in a situation and we enjoy the journey. I loved watching this and the feeling I had wishing it wasn't going to end. I'm excited to see more from this director and for my kids to grow up and enjoy these films with me.

The similarity has been mentioned in other reviews - I only twigged on a second viewing when I noticed many similar behaviour traits. One of the weirdest films I've ever watched but great fun - hope they make a sequel, lots of potential crazy plots for an almost housetrained giant fly!

Just a fun, quirky, sweet film about two guys and the fly who helped them realise what friendship is all about.

Mandibles was what I was hoping for. I wasn't expecting a multiverse Bill & Ted adventure by Samuel Beckett but I was thourghly pleased for the ride. It left me with a smile and a good time. Though it also left me hoping for a sequel or a mini series of the possibilities. I loved the anti-hero's and the fly was awesome.

I've watched it twice and found it even funnier the second time.

Watching the how something happened on a second viewing is always enjoyable with Quentin's films.

One thing I'd like to add is the film has the best focus pulling out side of cartoons from back in the day to tell jokes by directing sight.
