    I loved this movie. Totally hilarious. Loved how the characters react to 21st century life style and brought with them their hilarious habits and way of life from the past. This movie is a must see!! We rented it and watched it five times in five days. Highly recommended for a gr...( read more)eat laugh! Andre is very funny and it is great to see him realize that he can be a free man and finally stand up for himself. It helps us realize how inhumane the treatment of "slaves" were in ancient history. Helps us realize how much we take for granted in the 21st century too. This movie is like a mix between Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail and Napoleon Dynamite, at least that is what type of satirical humor it reminds me of and I think both of those movies are absolutely hilarious as well, the kind that you like to watch again and again and find yourself quoting over and over and laughing. It was a great movie!!

    Absolutely hilarious! The first 15 minutes might be a little tough for some, but it's worth getting through.

    Unfortunately, this is another good move who was ruined by trying to be popularized and brought closer to American or whatever public for who-knows what reasons. So, what did they do...Well, they changed language (it is so difficult to read subtitles?!), they changed names, the s...( read more)tory etc. The first two sequels were great and this is disaster. I feel so sorry for Reno and Clavier. But you gonna do - sometimes one have to "sacrifice" quality for earning some money.

    It's always funny when you stick someone from the past into the future, I dunno why but it is.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

One of those rare American remakes of a French film that preserves the flavor of the original and even improves upon it. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Wasn't one iota funnier when I regained consciousness than it was when I mercifully slipped out of it.
