OSS 117: Le Caire nid d’espions (2006 France)

Premise: Spoof on James Bond, Austin Powers, The Pink Panther, Get Smart, and Casablanca. French Secret Agent OSS 117 is sent to Cairo to investigate the disappearance of another agent.

Review:  Kind of an “Ugly American” but in this case an “Ugly Frenchman” in its audacity and cultural ignorance, but that is the point.    It pokes fun at religion if not insults it.  It pokes fun at governments, spies, films etc.    Most of the crowd enjoyed it.  I was non plussed.   The gags got old quickly and I found some of the humor insulting.   Not my form of humor I guess.

Film: +++ (3/5)
Movie: ++ (2/5)
