If you love dorky movies, this is the Height of Dork. James Bond meets Mad Mad Mad Mad World meets Abbott and Costello, all in French. It's a parody of itself, including the sped up chase scenes, idiotic plot, and the "jazzy" exaggerated score featuring way too much marimba. The actors do seem to be having fun, it seems.
Not for the weak, but truly for serious dork appreciating professionals only.
