Critic Reviews

Boxoffice Magazine Wade Major

Uproariously funny. Read full review

Kerry Lengel

The humor here is on the dry side of zany, and it won't tickle every funny bone, any more than Mike Myers does, or - perhaps a more apt comparison - Terry Gilliam's tart filmic fantasies. But no matter what, you have to admit this mix of lowbrow humor and French erudition has a style of its own. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The movie depends mostly on wild exaggerations of 007, and here it does something right: It shows stunts and special effects that look like they might have been staged in 1967. Read full review

Peter Rainer

All this is mighty silly, but there's something to be said for watching a French movie that, for a change, isn't about l'amour, existential angst, or madness. It's oddly reassuring to know that Hollywood isn't the only place where dithery, disposable spy spoofs are manufactured. Read full review

Mark Feeney

Gallic humor translates splendidly when it comes courtesy of Moliere. The drop-off from that height is very, very steep. Read full review

Betsy Sharkey

I don't know that we actually need Agent OSS 117, but the world is a slightly better place with him around. And the film itself is a harmless trifle -- make that truffle, chocolate of course. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Sexist, racist humor abounds, with Jews and gays especially taking a beating. I don't always object to non-PC humor -- but I like it to be funny, and here it isn't. Read full review

A masterpiece of French second degree humour. The awful English review kinda underlines the strong differences of perception of such movies : we don't laugh *with* OSS, we laugh *at* OSS... at his total lack of self awareness. The cliff's edge is never very far, but as with any good acrobat,A masterpiece of French second degree humour. The awful English review kinda underlines the strong differences of perception of such movies : we don't laugh *with* OSS, we laugh *at* OSS... at his total lack of self awareness. The cliff's edge is never very far, but as with any good acrobat, the thrill (and laugh !) we enjoy specifically comes from how close and masterfully Hazanavicius flirts with it.… Expand
