Die Hard, but instead of an ex-cop it's a couple of window cleaners. I'm French and was literally raised by this movie. It's one of the most iconic French comedies. It was innovative, extremely well written and overall just a gem in my opinion. Obviously you have to like Eric and Ramzy's comedy style, which is basically two absurdly stupid characters put in the middle of an otherwise very serious situation. One of the things that really get me with this movie is that it doesn't fall in the usual parody movie trap of having everything other than the comedy be eclipsed, or just bad. All the characters are great in their own ways, all of the writing is very sharp, the acting and cinematography are on point, the music is fantastic. That contrast between the two moronic main characters and the world they evolve in is really what does it for me. And it was made on a pretty tight budget.

But I guess the comedy doesn't translate well. Based on the reviews here, it seems like non-French people generally strongly dislike this ? If you're French and you haven't seen this film, what are ya doing. If you're not French, you should probably still give it a go if you like absurd comedies. But I personally don't like Dumb & Dumber that much, so maybe this type of thing just doesn't really cross the culture barrier.

Anyway I love it and it's one of the movies I've rewatched the most.

We need to stop Disney's world domination plans. I swear it seems like the budget for this was burned for fun because they just couldn't be bothered to try making something good. Don't get me wrong, this show could get turned around and end up a 6 - 7, but I doubt it. I did have hope that Disney would at least try to respect the fans, but they pay 0 respects to the characters and the soul of Star Wars. So far, the first 3 episodes sucked ass with the only slightly good moment being the end of ep2. The battle in ep3 (that takes place in the studio's backyard) is outrageously uninspired and underwhelming. I'll end by saying that the 6 episodes format has not worked for ANY show Disney has made and they need to ditch it before it ruins their reputation - to fans at the very least (too late for me).
