I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is one of those movies that works well and then it doesn't. The editing doesn't do the film justice even though there are a lot of good scenes that are edited well in the film. The CGI for the time is pretty good. It's just not a very good film unless you take it in parts. The actors are fine. The women are beautiful. It's just a little too big for it's britches. Perhaps they could have done a more simple story rather than attempt to take down the Triad. I don't think the original PG13 would hold up to today's standards with all the nudity, but then again, what do I know? If you're going to watch this movie, I don't recommend watching it with kids unless you can get an edited version.

From the same director that "Les Visiteurs, 1993" comes a great comedy which has Christian Clavier and Gérard Depardieu as the main characters. They both perform wonderfully well. This is an excellent movie, very very funny. I personally adore french humor. The characters are great, the actors are well chosen and do divinely in the film. The plot is genius. It's a bit out of reality, but everything is so smoothly developed that for some breve moments you can almost believe that the whole thing could actually happen for real. If you wanna have a good time, don't doubt it, just go and watch it, I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.

Try watching more than 20 minutes of this. Can it really be classified as a comedy? Can it be classified as a movie? It is directed with a degree of sloppiness and amateurishness that is unacceptable for a "normal" motion picture. Plus, the version I saw was horribly dubbed. The only way you can enjoy it perhaps is if you're from another planet, where what we consider "frantic" is considered "funny". What a waste of some good stunts and some expensive special effects! 0 out of 4 stars.

Okay, the plot is a little stupid, but the movie managed to make me laugh during the whole time. The guardian angels are so funny it is unbelievable. Gérard Depardieu and Christian Clavier are simply wonderful. I recommend it if you want to laugh. Only downside is that the action scenes are a little useless, I think.
