The film is such a great comedy. It is, in my opinion, not only the best film of the Pierre Richard and Gérard Depardieu trilogy, but one of the best French comedies I've ever seen so far. The acting of the two is very entertaining. The film is also not too over the top, it never feels unrealistic either. The wordplay and slapstick is very well done. There are also no scenes that I would call unnecessary or boring. My favorite scene is the one where Pignon goes to the bar to get his (presumed) son back. A cheeky youth tries to tease him. Pignon doesn't like this at all, so he fights back by head-butting the youth several times. Lucas comes along and wants to explain and show Pignon how he could make these headbutts even more effective. The teenager is surprised and asks the two what is going on with the fight, because he actually wanted to continue. Lucas then headbutts him so hard that the brawler is knocked out. A much too underrated film!
