OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies

Hilarious without going over the top, goofy without becoming childish, this is a wonderful Bond parody that just oozes with charm and completely catches the 60's style. Dujardin channels Connery perfectly.

Meh. Average. Mildly humourous at times and Dujardin plays the role rather well, but jokes are a bit hit and miss and the story as a whole is rather bland and unoriginal.

Wouldn't work as well without the pitch-perfect Dujardin, but it's a light and funny spoof of the spy genre.

The plot is a mess and a real chore to follow but I'll admit, I had a blast, regardless. The gags are hilarious, as is Dujardin as the suave, self-righteous, unintentionally mindless OSS - providing many of the film's laughs with his playful physicality, sidesplitting expressiveness and brilliant comic timing.

The jokes are a bit thin on the ground, but it works.

Worth watching for Jean Dujardin's performance alone. If they're smart, Hollywood will come calling.

Closer resemblance to a Bond movie than Quantum of Solace.

Humorous French answer to spy craze of the 60's and its revival by films like Austin Powers. Dujardin has all the qualities needed for silent comedy star. He can act with his face and body, and even though I am sure some of the jokes are lost in translation, physical humor is spot on. Story is weak and serves only as an excuse for over-self-confident and extremely ignorant spy to get into funny situations. Scenes with Nazis and chicken fight are great, but most gags are hit or miss.

Typisch französisch, hübsch trashig und verdreht, doch irgendwie gefiel die Geschichte nicht so und abseits des Requisiten-Spaßes wars dann auch nicht der erhoffte Punchline-Killer. Da zieh ich mir sogar den Wixxer vor. Trotzdem sympathisch.

Dujardin has #BeaucoupSwag

smart, fun parody that doesn't take its spoofs too far and hits all the classic spy movie elements (sexy girls, pacing, and somewhat convoluted story line, etc.); Dujardin found the perfect middle ground between serious and goofy

great parody of james bond series

Zusammen mit seinem Nachfolger "Rio ne répond plus" eine der großartigsten Spionagefilmfarcen. Wer cinematologisch etwas bewanderter ist, wird sicher eine umfangreiche Liste mit bekannten Filmen zusammenstellen können, aus welchen die OSS-117-Parodien Szenen entlehnt und veredelt haben.

Jean Dujardin's face is so changeable! Absolutely hilarious!

One of the best spoofs in years.

Hilarious spy spoof. Austin Powers done right. Perfect balance of zaniness and straightplay without being annoying or boring. A must-see.

Not very many jokes?

Most spoofs are ranging from terrible to bad. This is pretty good, Dujardin being the best thing about it.

Semana Jean Dujardin, dia 3: Ele não é tudo? E de fato, Dujardin é a cara do Gene Kelly quando sorri.

Police Squad En Francis. Jean Dujardin is a heck of an actor, with the right amount of ham when it's required and straight when it's needed. While not as laugh a minute as a classic ZAZ movie it has plenty to keep you entertained. If this guy can get accentless English down he's going to go faaaaaaaaaar

Really funny movie. Dujardin is friggin hilarious

Awesome Dujardin, hilarious gags!

I actually found the sequel to be funnier both in its overt parody and comedy and also in subtle visual nods to the films it parodies. The jokes were just a little too tired for me and i didn't laugh often...and probably missed laughing at things i might have after being bored by unclever gags.

Oh lala

Funny, well-made, Jean Dujardin is good. But, this kind of film is getting a bit old.

Jean Valjean is a better Bond than Daniel Craig.

great comedy.

Pretty good Bond parody that perfectly captures the look and vibe of the Connery films.
