directed by Michel Hazanavicius
starring Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Béjo, Aure Atika, Philippe Lefèbvre, Constantin Alexandrov, Saïd Amadis, Claude Brosset

A box-office sensation in France, comic star Jean Dujardin stars as secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, a.k.a. OSS 117 who in the tradition of Maxwell Smart and Inspector Clouseau somehow succeeds in spite of his ineptitude.

After a fellow agent and close friend is murdered, Hubert is ordered to take his place at the head of a poultry firm in Cairo. This is to be his cover while he investigates Jack's death, monitors the Suez Canal, checks up on the Brits and Soviets, burnishes France's reputation, quells a fundamentalist rebellion and brokers peace in the Middle East.

A blithe and witty send-up not only of spy films of that era and the suave secret agent figure but also neo-colonialism, ethnocentrism and the very idea of Western covert action in the Middle East.

Sparkling production design, a jubilantly retro score and a genuine flair for using the film and TV vocabulary of the '60s to revisit colonial arrogance put pic in the same conceptual ballpark as Austin Powers or 'The Naked Gun' series. - Variety

  • @gomenos421 A votre service ou  Pour vous servir (its more class)

  • I saw this movie in my French class and it was hilarious!..specially the chicken scene =D

  • This is basically a parody of french spy books called "OSS 117" (we used to have serious movies with the characters during the 50s).

    If you truly enjoy Jean Dujardin then check his extremely funny "Brice De Nice" (Nice is a city in the south of France, so it translates "Brice From Nice" litterally).

    You can check it out on you tube via googling "dujardin brice" ^^
