OSS 117: Lost in Rio(OSS 117 : Rio ne répond plus)

The New York Times by

Mr. Dujardin, a skilled comedian, deftly embodies the spy's combination of cluelessness and condescension, but it's an act that eventually wears thin.

Los Angeles Times by Betsy Sharkey

I don't know that we actually need Agent OSS 117, but the world is a slightly better place with him around. And the film itself is a harmless trifle -- make that truffle, chocolate of course.

Time Out by Keith Uhlich

This is like a subpar "Naked Gun" feature cooked up by Eisenstein and Godard during a drug-addled lost weekend. Where's Leslie Nielsen when you need him?

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

A very funny French comedy of a variety that usually doesn't make its way here.

The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson

None of this is particularly sophisticated humor; again, it's Austin Powers goofery by way of Mel Brooks, though with a cooler, dryer tone and a much straighter face, embodied by Dujardin's vapidly winning grin, which admits no embarrassment or self-awareness.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Sexist, racist humor abounds, with Jews and gays especially taking a beating. I don't always object to non-PC humor -- but I like it to be funny, and here it isn't.

Boxoffice Magazine by Wade Major

Uproariously funny.
