Awkward humour isn't really my thing, but the innocence of Pignon just makes it so hard not to like. I did think the sudden contrast at the end was a little forced and cliched, but yeah, comedy's good, acting's great and overall, and it's all just silly fun.

I actually didn't think it was that funny. Some parts were extremely awkward

Wonderfully scripted, excellent comedy with a hell of a main character and a touching ending. Engaging and furiously paced.

Just saw that they were remaking this, and needed to give props to the hilarious original.

Yeah, it's a completely one-note film, but at about 80 minutes, it comes and goes at such a frenetic pace that you don't really realize until after the movie's over that there hasn't been any worthwhile exposition. One of the funniest movies I've seen, really.

c'est un film sincère et comique. vous devez voir ce film pour le performances de Jaques Villeret.

As I was watching this I couldn't help think about people who have said this is the funniest movie of all time and just how fucking dumb and misguided they are. Made me smile a few times but no laughs were had. Not as witty as it thinks it is and its predictable as hell. Felt like more of a bad sitcom then a film. But to be fair, it was better than the remake!

salak, es, metres, aldatmak, vergi denetmeni, terk edilmek, koleksiyoncu, maketci, yayinci (herkes bir salakla beraber bir yemege gider, pierre bronchant belinden sakatlaninca yemege gdemez ve salagiyla evde kalir. fena degil güzel espriler var.)

Recently remade as the destined-to-never-be-a-classic Dinner for Schmucks, I went into this with low expectations. But it has a decent reputation and it's short, so I took the risk. My bad. Exasperating and charmless, not a single laugh to be had. There are a couple of clever twists in the story, but nothing especially surprising. I think I'd rather see the Carrell/Galifianakis version.

That's what comedies should be like.

Had a tough time ranking this one. It's undoubtedly funny, sharp and very concise, but parts of it left a bad taste in my mouth. There were times when I felt like I was laughing at Pignon when I didn't want to be. I wanted to be laughing at Brochand getting his comeuppance, because he really is an unlikeable character - but damn, then Pignon does something else idiotically funny and I'm laughing at that instead. I wanted more karmic justice for Pignon at the end, but it just doesn't happen.

Although it gets to be a tad moralistic towards the end, it's a fun farce that manages to be entirely predictable and still fresh and entertaining at the same time. Once it gets into its stride, the two leads provide entertainment enough, but it's Francis Huster's support as Juste Leblanc that stands out. Stupid, innocent fun.

I'll bet this is a real funny play, & even more fun than this movie. Nice twists & turns & silly situations make for easy viewing & some chuckles.
