ThiefHott Too much of everything

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The Couchpotatoes OSS 117: Lost In Rio is the sequel from OSS 117: Cairo, Nest Of Spies from 2006. It's about the same level of humor, I wouldn't say there is any difference of quality between those two movies. It's still as silly as it can be, not the kind of humor everybody likes. For me it's just about okay, good enough to watch once but that's about it. The French secret agent OSS 117 is a mixture of Austin Powers, James Bond and Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther. He's a bit stupid but always manages to solve a case and that with alot of luck. Jean Dujardin has the right silly face to play that role. OSS 117 is a bit sexist and racist if you ask me but I guess it fits his character from the sixties. The whole shooting of the movie feels like everything is from the sixties, even the making of the movie. Don't expect a serious story because there is absolutely nothing serious about this movie. A Sean Connery look-a-like secret agent, charming but sexist, a couple dozens of goodlooking girls, a bunch of bad guys and that's what you get for the entire movie.

Comediator This film is a great test to see if your friends have a sense of humor, because no intelligent comedy fan could enjoy this. Don't let the excuses that it's "silly" humor fool you; I love silly humor, and I truly love racial and edgy humor, and this film fails at both.The writing is simply uninspired and feels like a rushed room full of executives wrote it rather than anyone who's ever worked as a comedy writer. The last joke of the movie is such a stinker it sums up the whole film. Bad jokes and lazy writing disguised with charm and good acting.I saw this film in a theater full of fans who wanted desperately to love it, but an hour in the crowd went permanently silent as the onslaught of forced humor weighed on us all. Many jokes seemed like they would have been funny 40 years ago but today are so hackneyed and simplistic it's just uncomfortable and intellectually insulting.To put it simply, if you found this movie hilarious, I'm willing to bet my life that you never make other people laugh.

kosmasp Well actually there are quite a few "Oss 117" movies, but this is the second one with Jean Dujardin as Oss 117! A third one is about to follow (and I hope IMDb is right and it will come out next year/2010). I love the movies. And you actually don't have to have seen the first one ... but it's great, so actually maybe you should (have)! ;o)Seriously though: Jean Dujardin is back, as an obnoxious agent, but a lovely one at that. An agent, who does not know the word regret and or the meaning of "political correct". So he hasn't changed (really) from part 1, but that's exactly how we like him. With this movie (and the one before that and surely the one after that), you will either love or hate the movie/character.So are you into a "Bond" movie that actually is rather a spoof and will you love it? I still haven't seen the original movies, but I'm afraid I'm too spoiled by these movies, so I won't really enjoy the earnest Oss 117. Anyway, I can only highly recommend this movie ...

adeej The second OSS 117 film that I've seen. The hero Hubert thinks that he's God's gift to women, a la the James Bond films. The story line is pretty ludicrous, but it is a fun spoof of the classic spy movie. Some of the more ludicrous parts are: * The hero and the villain falling off a lookout down the Iguazu Falls and surviving - yeah right! * Finally beating the hero on top of the Jesus statue on top of the Corcovado in Rio (I won't say any more than that) * The hero being shot out plenty of times but him never getting shot * The Nazi and Chinese sub-plots (that's as far as I'm going on that one too) * The location of the microfilm that the villain wants (again, I'm saying no more - but it's somewhere completely unexpected!)Would I recommend others see this film? Yes, if they can put logic aside and enjoy a fun romp of a film that is inane, but very funny.
