The second installment to the spoof spy series introduced by OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. This time, agent OSS 117 travels to Brazil in search of a former Nazi. The first hour is very funny. I enjoy that the hero has the shortcomings of a caricature's Frenchman: self-imbued, sexist, vaguely racist and yet charming. As in many movies where the plot serves no other purpose than to animate characters in order to make viewers laugh, the last thirty minutes are a wasteland resulting from the writers' effort to unravel that plot, and could easily be skipped from a comedic standpoint.

Many American movies poke fun at the French, as do many British comedies. But few people in the English-speaking world suspect that the French are perhaps the best at making fun of the French. OSS 117 tells the adventures of a boorish, culturally-insensitive spy on a mission in Cairo. In many comedies, the laughs peak early. OSS 117 starts slow but ends strong. On the "goof" side, I was surprised to hear the actors count in Moroccan Arabic rather than Egyptian Arabic (jouj for "two" instead of itnayn). If you enjoy this movie, run to the sequel.

On the Mediterranean coast, where the waves are few, a man has lived for years with the delusion that he is a champion surfer. I was curious about this movie because it features Jean Dujardin, who I first discovered in the OSS 117 series. It made me chuckle, and it is interesting in an arthouse kind of way, but I doubt it would have much interest unless you were either (i) fluent in French, (ii) a surf enthusiast or (iii) a cult movie hound.

A cartoonish collage of moments in the last days of a self-absorbed advertising executive's life. Neither funny nor pleasant to watch. For my taste, this was a complete waste of time. (Last viewed: November 2012)
