For French people and well-understanding French speaking people an absolute must see !As said in the comment's title, I wonder why it's not well/better known...Why not, really ?It's hilarious, delirious, and with some quiet inoffensive slang...So that any grown-up person who is a movies lover could almost laugh all along the movie.The French dialogue fits completely to the expressive attitude of the actors,with even the lips movements which could make us think it is not an invented one, but the real original English lines...With plenty ironic light trashy permutations of the original English dialogues and meaning of the scenes.Without knowing the movies in which the different parts have been taken and assembled, for sure the fun can't be the same... :-(I define myself as a wide-open movie lover, from classic to martial arts (except horror :-),and especially comedies but I never heard about this fantastic one before yesterday,as someone mentioned it on a computer info's sharing site, to my great surprise.Read straight afterward the excellent reviews here on the site...Could find it and watched it in the evening... What a pleasure ! So many laughs ! Just perfect !For comedy lovers : a must see !!!Unfortunately and for once the Anglo-American speaking audience will miss this one... :-) *** a film is never really good unless the camera is an eyes in the head of a poet Orson Welles ***

What the words "Monde de merde" (fucking world) means ? Is it a name ? Is it a woman's ? Is it a horse's ? Or is it a sledge's ? On a story based on Citizen Kane, three journalists, Dave (Paul Newman), Peter (Dustin Hoffman) and Steven (Robert Redford), are investigating the life of George Abidbol (John Wayne) after his mysterious death, searching the meaning of his last words "Monde de merde". But wait a second... a french film with Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford and John Wayne ??? No, I didn't drink too much. Actually, this "flim" is a mix of many old films, dubbed in french with silly dialogues which don't have any sort of link with originals. And that makes one of the funniest film I've ever seen !!!

This movie is just too funny. If you speak French, watch it. The story is not important, don't pay attention to it. You've got to listen carefully to the dialogue, and you will understand what comedy is."On va manger des chips!!!"

Take a bit of El Dorado, a bit of President's men, a part of Citizen Kane, (etc.), keep the usual dubbing French voice but create another story... Unique, hilarious, perfect
