C'est marrant, c'est du Louis de Funès et en plus c'était un peu risqué. Un point c'est tout.<BR/><BR/>De plus, si n'importe qui essayerait de faire un film pareil il serait taxé d'antisémitisme ou d'islamophobie. Je pense que rien que pour ça, en dehors du côté assez comique (car je pense qu'en étant français, et parisien de surcroit, on aprrécie mieux le film...) du film, ça reste un bon film. J'aurais bien aimé qu'on puisse se foutre de la gueule des juifs français sans être taxé de je ne sais pas quoi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-1146683551420023782006-05-03T15:12:00.000-04:002006-05-03T15:12:00.000-04:00Aw man - memories!

It always makes me laugh.<BR/><BR/>On another completely different note, see if you can track down this film circa 1980/1981 called "Le Grand Pardon" about turf wars between French North African Jewish mobsters and French Arab mobsters. That was a fantastic film. Really.<BR/><BR/>And how is it you don't write for Jewlicious? How can such a thing be possible?? Next time we're in New York, we'll invite you out for drinks, slip something into yours when you are not looking and before you know it... heh.

Doesn't take much. But still, the movie's hilarious, and so predictable and cliched--as well as unrealistic and internally inconsistent--that the ridiculousness ends up being what makes it great. Or something like that. Or possibly just Victor Pivert's imitation of a goat.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.com
