Funny movie, nice imagery but events in the story sometimes feel a little disconnected.

Proof positive that one of Juenet's strongest influences is Chuck Jones.

Tebessum yuzumden eksik olmadi. Hayatin icinden sira disi ve kendi halinde karakterlerin ne kadar buyuk isler basarabilecegini gosteriyor.

I really love Jeunet's style. Every single one of his movies blows me away with his amazing cinematography, he truly makes film "art" by the sheer gorgeousness of every shot. That being said, this story didn't knock my socks off like Amelie or Delicatessen did. I still found it an enjoyable amusing dark comedy (and I loved the silent film sensibilities that were prevalent throughout), but it didn't quite have the same punch some of his other scripts had.

- highly recommended

The danger with Jeunet is always too much quirk, not enough charm. This one goes a bit too far on the quirk side. Although it's got a lot of clever up its sleeve, sometimes those little touches are done with just too much of a wink. It may also be that Dany Boon doesn't make a very compelling protagonist. Nonetheless, the movie packs enough off-kilter fun and shenanigans to be worthwhile. As political satire it doesn't really have any teeth, but as entertaining escapist fare, it does the trick.

So if you like Jeunet style you'll sure like this joyful piece.

"The creator of Amelie returns to the black comedy of Delicatessen with Micmacs, a goofy satire on the wages of the war machine."

A brilliant kinduva-heist, kinduva-revenge movie, with a ridiculous amount of ingenuity and care. There's really nothing to fault here.

"Micmacs is the logical next step in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's career, more or less completely doing away with narrative as a vital component and exalting mouse trap-style set pieces as a be-all end-all." - Nick Schager

great :))

I like my fanciful films to have at least a slight amount of realism in them.

Good Movie

Just fantastic. Amazingly amusing with fabulous atmosphere.

I was thrilled with the stunning beginning, ingenious score (some parts were really hilarious), wonderful and colorful cinematography and the bizarreness of the characters, but still I did not buy the story. Some scenes were silly (in bad way) and the story's got some really weak interpretations. But it's Jean-Pierre Jeunet fantasy. I cannot give for it as low score as I wanted.

The French really love life and how could they not, when every day is a whimsical adventure? Ultimately, this is the French version of a family movie. Fun, very whimsical, but ultimately substance-free.

Nice to see Jeunet back in action. Vibrant colors and vivid characters, as could be expected from him. A cross between Amelie and Ocean's Eleven.

Although nothing is being stolen, at least not for purposes of profit, this quirky revenge thriller is, at heart, an expertly crafted heist movie that stands with the best of the genre. But it is by contrasting arms dealing, tech/wealth obsessed villains with a rag tag family of oddballs that Jeunet truly elevates this film, taking a hard stance against war profiteering by showing its machinations taken apart with little more than ingenuity, teamwork and the scraps of a bygone era.

Entertaining and visually terrific. Sometimes pushes the story a bit too far, but that can also be seen as part of it's genre.

20100309 - Very Amelie, but even moreso. Amusing enough, but not groundbreaking or repeat-viewing worthy.

I do think there's a smidgeon too many in the way of quirky characters, but overall I'm a fan of this. There's something very strange about its mix of real-world concerns and Jeunet's usual quirky bizarreness, which I gather made some people uncomfortable but really worked for me.

What if Ocean's Eleven was remade by Terry Gilliam in France? You'd have Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Micmacs a Tire-Larigot", a zany caper film about society's outsiders sticking it to the man. Very strange, but ultimately quite likeable and with a good anti-gun message. A tart with a heart.
