Reviews

" The stunningly witty, charming finale makes up for some lengths of road movies - Beans strength lies precisely but in a short skit that had made him since 1990 on the cult TV figure. Throughout beautiful are the images of suffering and yet sunny French countryside. Conclusion: A Brit on the trail of Jacques Tati ".

"Rather a series of misadventures as a dramatist thoughtful movie, the second movie appearance of the restricted British has to offer minimal maintenance end and is more likely to be interpreted as a farewell to a former television cult. "
