Featured reviews
Good movie, very well acted. Good James Bond parody. It's a bit crazy but unfortunately not enough crazy. It could have been a perfect comedy but it seems that fear of sounding racist and sexist keeps screenwriters, dialogue writer and filmmaker from really taking over more crazy. And this fear is gone to last for years.
Turned out to be much better than expected. I was worried that the change of director would ruin it, and it definitely isn't on the same level as the others, but Nicolas Bedos was very faithful to the first two movies. My expectations about OSS 1001, the new agent, were subverted in a good way. Some very funny moments. If you liked the first two movies, you should definitely give it a watch.
Not so funny than the two previous episodes, this OSS lacks humor (it was more childish, not so provocative as what you would expect from OSS), a better writing (some scenes just sound fake, or repetitive), and more rhythm (a few scenes feel like forever without adding anything to the story). The actors do their best though, Jean Dujardin is excellent as always.
I was expecting more after a lot of advertising on tv, press, online. Not worth the hype.

It's not awful and it can extract 2 or 3 smiles.
But what a difference with the first two installments. The wit is lost. It's often boring and most jokes fall flat.
5 is a generous rating.

As always Hubert is very funny.
However if you except Jean Dujardin all the other characters are grotesque.
For the first time the country and the epoque are not really at the center of the story.
Here you are just following the mains characters in their adventure.
In short I would say it was fun to watch but no more...

- TriviaDirector Michel Hazanavicius' original plan was to feature an aging and bald OSS 117, set the film in the 1970s and take inspiration from blaxploitation movies. Screenwriter Jean-François Halin refused to age the character, keeping him young as he was in the previous films, which would make the timeline of the series a floating one. The only plan to carry over from the original idea was to set the story in an African country. The movie now takes place in the 1980s.
