Arrh the French!!
By h20bomb (92 reviews) from London , 17 Aug 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Initially as the film starts there are a rush of characters, until we settle on our heroine Adele, what follows shows great imagination, in the script, and by the actors, it held my attention from the start, and had it gripped by the end! Simply great fun!- Was this review helpful to you?

(180)The Mummy meets Laura Croft in french
By paddyh (20 reviews) , 18 May 2013An entertaining and funny french ction adventure with a great female lead. Wondered about the 12 rating as some nudity and scary bits probably not for under 12s but otherwise a great family film if your kids do subtitles or speak french.- Was this review helpful to you?

Funny an enjoyable.
By TopCatTara (21 reviews) , 27 Apr 2013I did not realize this film had subtitles until l turn it on. I wouldn't normally watch a film with subs as l am a slow reader, but ended up finding this film very funny and enjoyable from to start to finish. Will watch it again.- Was this review helpful to you?

Less charm than even The Mummy
By DGB72 (15 reviews) from Ipswich , 18 Mar 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
If you're a fan of Besson from Nikita, Leon, Subway, The Fifth Element etc, or if you're hoping for something with the imaginative enchantment of Jeunet et Caro's films, this is to be avoided. I found this film disappointing for its lack of charm, however the often obnoxious behaviour of the heroine and the unimaginative humour suggests it was intended as a children's' film anyway, and not even a 'family friendly' film. The 12 rating is unwarranted as it is too immature for any audience above that age (particularly if they're prepared to watch it subtitled) and aside from the brief glimpse of the lead's nipples - which would have been better cut to allow a more appropriate UK rating - this needs to be a U to reach its target audience. However, it looks quite superb and for a younger audience would probably be highly entertained. I'm very sad to say I ached for it to finish and couldn't believe that I'd only been watching for under an hour. I strongly recommend The City of Lost Children, Delicatessen or Amelie instead. Even 'The Mummy' has more charm and more sophisticated humour (in places), which should tell you something.- Was this review helpful to you?

Extraordinarily good fun
By a customer , 11 Mar 2013Great fun: Like a live-action Tintin. Completely bonkers, but beautifully presented by an acomplished cast as if it all actually made sense. Really good extras which explain the background to the movie as a French graphic novel and shows how the original drawings were recreated for the movie. Sit back and enjoy!- Was this review helpful to you?
