Comediator This film is a great test to see if your friends have a sense of humor, because no intelligent comedy fan could enjoy this. Don't let the excuses that it's "silly" humor fool you; I love silly humor, and I truly love racial and edgy humor, and this film fails at both.The writing is simply uninspired and feels like a rushed room full of executives wrote it rather than anyone who's ever worked as a comedy writer. The last joke of the movie is such a stinker it sums up the whole film. Bad jokes and lazy writing disguised with charm and good acting.I saw this film in a theater full of fans who wanted desperately to love it, but an hour in the crowd went permanently silent as the onslaught of forced humor weighed on us all. Many jokes seemed like they would have been funny 40 years ago but today are so hackneyed and simplistic it's just uncomfortable and intellectually insulting.To put it simply, if you found this movie hilarious, I'm willing to bet my life that you never make other people laugh.

druid333-2 O.S.S.117,is the French version of James Bond. Although (for women anyway)he is handsome & suave,he is a walking catalog of neuroses. He is vain,a racist,sexist,homophobic,xenophobic clod,he does get the job done. Although I've never read any of the O.S.S. 117 novels,or seen any of the original films (with the first dating back to the late 1950's),I did see the last outing,'O.S.S.117:Cairo,Nest Of Spies',which I did admire & find drop dead funny. This time,well...it had good intent. O.S.S.117 is sent by the agency to go to Brazil to find an escaped Nazi war criminal,who is hell bent on setting up a branch of the Nazi party in Rio De Janero. This time,he is sent over with a partner,an attractive Colonel in the Isreali Army,Col.Delores Koulchou. O.S.S. isn't exactly thrilled to be working with a woman (especially one who outranks him),but tries to make good (but not without the best intentions). While in Rio,they team up with an informant,who just happens to live in a hippie commune. After a wild night of sex,drugs (O.S.S.117 is given a hit of L.S.D.),but no rock & roll. The three take after Von Zimmel to try & bring him back for trial for war crimes. Jean Dujardin returns as O.S.S.117,with Louise Monot as Delores Koulchou,Rudger Volger as Von Zimmel,and Alex Lutz as Heinrich. Michel Hazanavicius,who directed Dujardin in 'Cairo:Nest of Spies',returns to direct from a screen play written by Jean Francois Halin,based on the character originally devised by Jean Bruce. The film's breath taking cinematography is by Guillaume Schiffman,with film editing by Raynald Bertrand. Not nearly as good as 'O.S.S. 117:Cairo,Nest Of Spies',but if you're a fan of the series,you may want to check it out,anyway. Spoken (mostly)in French with English subtitles,and English & Portugese. Not rated by the MPAA,this film contains strong language (including some racist & sexist banter),sexual content,nudity,drug references & some violence (although nothing too graphic)

kosmasp Well actually there are quite a few "Oss 117" movies, but this is the second one with Jean Dujardin as Oss 117! A third one is about to follow (and I hope IMDb is right and it will come out next year/2010). I love the movies. And you actually don't have to have seen the first one ... but it's great, so actually maybe you should (have)! ;o)Seriously though: Jean Dujardin is back, as an obnoxious agent, but a lovely one at that. An agent, who does not know the word regret and or the meaning of "political correct". So he hasn't changed (really) from part 1, but that's exactly how we like him. With this movie (and the one before that and surely the one after that), you will either love or hate the movie/character.So are you into a "Bond" movie that actually is rather a spoof and will you love it? I still haven't seen the original movies, but I'm afraid I'm too spoiled by these movies, so I won't really enjoy the earnest Oss 117. Anyway, I can only highly recommend this movie ...

valmens3 OSS 117 is a french secret agent, a very very french one. His new mission is to exchange a microfilm for money with an ex Nazi in Brazil. for this mission, he will have to team up with a Jewish sexy secret agent and the hippie son of the ex-Nazi. Whatever...The story is not that interesting, this is a parody of 007, a fine one. here, the hero is stupid and old fashioned, but sure to be the opposite. every single line he says is full of anachronism and ignorance, he has no idea of what he's dealing with and he's kind of childish. But he's the best french agent. Hubert Bonisseur de labathe is our own french Austin Power, for a more mature audience. Here, the laugh comes from the gap between the world OSS thinks he lives in and the real world, and the fact that, even facing the real world, he never changes his mind. The first episode was great, funny and thrilling, a complete absurd spy movie. this one is funnier, because now, we now the main character is a complete idiot, but he always gets what he wants, even if quite don't understand how.
