I enjoyed this movie. As a French speaker, I had a general idea of who the Palmashow was, but I never expected to fall in love with their silly and totally absurd humor. This movie is what I could describe as the dumb French son of forest Gump and Monty piton. The best part of this movie is its humor, Yes, it heavily relies on cliche, but it's done in a subtle way to represent and even criticize the French society and its past. Another great aspect of this movie is its plot, it's clearly one of the most weird and absurd plots ive ever watched and even taught its somewhat unoriginal, its unpredictability kept me hooked. One negative aspect of this movie would be its special effects, lets say it, they are clunky at best and I must admit I found them really bad at times, it's important to note thought that this movie was made on a small budget so, It was expected. Overall, its a great movie!

Before hand I must say that I've not read the source material of the source material for this movie. First of all I want to say that I was surprised it was a fiction, so it's always a good sign of authenticity and good writing in my book. Second, even though I felt the story was a bit shallow and that it could've been explored further it had a good ending that keeps an opening for a follow up. Overall, I would recommend this movie if you're feeling for a fictional historical drama about two young guys forced to play in a grander war.
