18 July 2012 | by (Germany) – See all my reviews

I like Jean Reno and I also like french movies, but this one was a bad evening at the cinema. The acting was lame, the story was predictable, the dialogs terrible. Certainly I did not expect a masterpiece, just funny 90 minutes, but this was one of those movies where you look at your watch to often. You might enjoy this film at home on DVD, but do not spend money on the cinema version. Yes, it is just a comedy, but it is not a very good one. Yes the story is a modern fairy tale, but it is not fun to watch.

I am sure that there will be an American remake of this movie in a few month.
