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

This French parody of the James Bond franchise follows secret agent Hubert Bonssieur de la Bath on a high-stakes mission to Brazil. In Rio, the inept spy teams up with Israeli secret service to capture the mysterious Professor Von Himmel, a Nazi official who has escaped to South America with a secret list of French Nazi sympathizers.

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.
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.
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.
