Overview

A pair of indomitable Gauls travel to ancient Egypt to help a proud queen prove a point to a rival ruler: a grand palace must be built in just three months. With a tight deadline, a desperate architect, and plenty of culture-clash comedy, the mission turns into a fast-moving string of gags and adventures.

Insights

Pros: nonstop gags and puns; bright, cheerful fun; strong comic performances | Cons: jokes lost in translation; thin story for some; a few disturbing moments

Will You Like This?

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, all-ages comedy packed with puns, anachronistic jokes, and a colorful ancient setting; Not for you if you dislike broad humor or rely on perfect subtitles like in A Town Called Panic.

Ma référence en terme de comédie française ! J''ai beau avoir vu ce film des dizaines de fois je découvre toujours de nouvelles références, de nouveaux jeux de mots, de nouvelles blagues. Je ne m''en lasserais jamais !

There's something about French absurd humor that when it works, it really works. And here it works. The Egyptian setting, Cleopatra's bet with Caesar, Numerobis running around trying not to be eaten by crocodiles... everything fits. The gags have rhythm, there are no dead moments that weigh down other installments of the saga. And the best part is it doesn't take itself seriously, but doesn't fall into easy jokes all the time either. There's a rare balance that makes it work for both kids and adults. By far, the best of the live-action adaptations. Should have been the standard, not the exception.

Amazing movie that polish dubbing made even better.

Great movie inspired by a great comic book
