One the best, most serious detectives in France (Gérard Depardieu) is teamed up with a luckless stumble-bum (Pierre Richard) and sent off to Central America to search for the klutzy daughter of a powerful magnate in this fast-paced and funny French farce. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
One-joke slapstick farce about a klutz who becomes useful during a kidnap investigation.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Veber's breakthrough, thanks to the inspired teaming of Richard and Depardieu -- and a brilliantly simple concept that doesn't stand up to (or ask for) very much scrutiny.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A funny French film filled with plenty of slapstick comedy.
