This movie is at first a simple funny comedy. But the cast, the lines, the "Second degré" humour have taken it to a French national monument, much like "Les Tontons Flingueurs" or "Les Barbouzes" (also directed by G. Lautner with more or less the same key guys).
Lino Ventura, Michel Constantin, André Pousse, Robert Dalban were first line figures of French crime movies. They made so many flicks together. Lautner directs them in this movie to play a parody of the roles that made them famous. Again, much like "Les Tontons flingueurs".
I would encouraged those who want to grasp what "popular culture" is for French folks to get into this movie and appreciate mostly the dialogs finely crafted by Michel Audiard. He seems to have written them for those actors with whom he shared so much: the food, the jokes, the lifestyle. 100% French stuff, as good as an AOC camembert or a local made saucisson.
