Shut Up! AKA Tais-Toi!

Following in the same fine comic tradition of director Francis Veber's previous hits, Le Placard (The Closet) and Le Diner De Cons (The Dinner Game), the plot relies heavily on cars, cell phones and sudden bursts of superhuman strength as Jean Reno and Gerard Depardieu repeatedly hop out of the frying pan and into the fire.

After hiding his loot and getting thrown in jail, Ruby, a brooding outlaw encounters Quentin, a dim-witted and garrulous giant who befriends him. After Quentin botches a solo escape attempt, they make a break together. Unable to shake the clumsy Quentin, Ruby is forced to take him along as he pursues his former partners in crime to avenge the death of the woman he loved and get to the money before they do.

    another great Veber farce

    Veber's farces are excellent, Diner de cons, Le Placard... unlike their english counterparts they're funny without leaving you cringing for the characters.

    If you've enjoyed Veber's previous movies you should enjoy this.

    Jean Reno does a realistic menacing crook and Gerard Depardieu demonstrates his acting versatility playing a believable fool.

    Its a bit holywood

    Wasnt as good as it should have been, having Reno and Depardu in.

    Its watchable though, and Depardu's character is good, Reno's is just a bit shallow. Plots a bit thin. Amusing in places.

    Not your usual French film, a bit too holywood.
