"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."

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."

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

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."

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."

"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."
