there some very clever humour in this film and which be both a parody of and a tribute to actor . however and after a while it just seem an exercise in style ( notwithstanding great gag such a balasko continue the part of dussolier and and very good acting by all involve ) and i be wonder why blier make this film . all be reveal in the end and when blier and direct claude brasseur and get a phone call from his dad ( bernard blier ) from heaven and and get the chance to say how much he miss him . an effective emotional capper and obviously heartfelt . but there isn not really sufficient dramatic tension or emotional involvement to keep the rest of the film interest throughout it entire running time . some really nice scene and sequence and however and and anyone who like these amosntres sacrés of the french cinema should get a fair amount of enjoyment out of this film .
