Tais-toi! (2003)

7/10

Has some hysterical moments

Tais-toi is about a journey taken by a determined outlaw and an idiot thief. Many ridiculous yet absolutely hilarious events ensue.

Take Pink Panther, Three Stooges, some way-too-easy-to-beat-up thugs/cops and roll them together...the end result is Tais-toi. T

Director/writer Francis Veber created a wonderful piece of comedy. Jean Reno gives a terrific performance as the serious character but is stuck with an idiot (much like Pink Panther with Steve Martin). Gérard Depardieu's character, let's just say you end up hating yet liking him at the same time.

There are few times during the film that felt really frustrating (like those moments when you are watching Mr. Bean, and he does something unbelievably awkward) and there are certain moments in this film tha tI was cry-laughing.

I would say give this film a try, it is different type of comedy for sure.
