"Not only spoofs the original source material, Bond, Powers and 1960s TV series -- it also takes on French colonial relations in a politically incorrect way. One of the most hilarious films of the year."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

2/4
"Until someone figures out a way of truly subverting what's already been subverted, cartoon stick figures like Austin Powers and Johnny English will never feel fresh, even when they're actually saying funny things."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

2.75/5
"[Jean] Dujardin's good-natured buffoonery rubs off, his behavior carrying the film."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

3/4
"Director and co-writer Hazanavicius' comedy generally avoids broad jokes in favor of tweaking the conventions and attitudes of cold war-era spy thrillers just enough to bring their fatuous absurdities to the surface."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/5
"Dujardin mantém um bom equilíbrio no tom que confere ao personagem, expondo sua tolice sem transformá-lo numa caricatura que comprometeria a narrativa ao impedir o espectador de acreditar que 117 é minimamente competente."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

B+
"I will watch this one again. (I'm watching it right now, as a matter of fact.)"  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

8/10
"The first laugh-out-loud comedy to come out this year - as well as an embarrassing reminder that anything we can do, the French can do better."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
