From the same director that "Les Visiteurs, 1993" comes a great comedy which has Christian Clavier and Gérard Depardieu as the main characters. They both perform wonderfully well. This is an excellent movie, very very funny. I personally adore french humor. The characters are great, the actors are well chosen and do divinely in the film. The plot is genius. It's a bit out of reality, but everything is so smoothly developed that for some breve moments you can almost believe that the whole thing could actually happen for real. If you wanna have a good time, don't doubt it, just go and watch it, I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.

Jean-Marie Poiré probably had to keep a cool head, following the huge success of "the visitors". Its successor is a comedy without too many claims but funny enough to have a good time. Of course, the movie isn't perfect: the making is by moments a bit of a mess and not always well mastered, the screenplay is sometimes predictable and contains a quite important number of reshufflings and even the topic hasn't got anything original: two characters with a different state of mind who are compelled to stay together. But the tandem Depardieu/Clavier manages quite well of the situation and there aren't any injury times. The set gives a joyful entertainment

Okay, the plot is a little stupid, but the movie managed to make me laugh during the whole time. The guardian angels are so funny it is unbelievable. Gérard Depardieu and Christian Clavier are simply wonderful. I recommend it if you want to laugh. Only downside is that the action scenes are a little useless, I think.

Les Anges Gardiens is one of the few french movies that I really like. The speed is the essential characteristic of this nervous and beautifully edited picture, and turns an simple mob plot into a wild parade of fast scenes, good dialogue and lovely half-dressed dames. Unfortunately, nothing is perfect. And in this picture's imperfections are precisely the guarding angels. Not too much for the angels themselves (they are supportable) but those special effects are almost offensive!
