Ruby n’a qu’une idée en tête : se venger de l’homme qui a assassiné la femme qu’il aimait. Quentin n’a que très peu de neurones. Juste assez pour être d’une gentillesse et d’une bêtise à entrer dans le Livre des Records. Les chemins des deux hommes vont se croiser, celui du dur qui n’est que désir de meurtre et celui du simple qui tutoie les anges. La gentillesse catastrophique de Quentin parviendra-t-elle à désamorcer la violence meurtrière de Ruby ? (UGC Distribution)

Excellent divertissement en provenance de la bonne vieille école française. Il est rare que je regarde un film en version doublée, mais ici, je dois féliciter les acteurs tchèques pour leur travail remarquable. Le duo Depardieu—Reno fonctionne à cent pour cent et tant les répliques que les commentaires sont incroyablement fun ! Un film parfait pour se détendre. ()
Veber simply knows French old-style comedies in a fairly wide range. In this film he takes aim at the refugee action genre, and again, it's a shot very close to the center. Mainly thanks to a great push-off and the irresistible duo in the title role. Both Reno and Depardieu confirm their extra class, and thanks to them, this film has a spark like good French wine. A joy to watch! ()
Narratively, it’s awkwardly segmented bollocks where the occasional attempt at a more serious approach and the incompetence of the villains is even more blatant, but it's still impossible to say no to it. Francis Veber, after all, has always been great at delivering gags and entertaining by combining two disparate characters, and in that sense, Shut Up! is his most accomplished work. Reno and Depardieu make such an amazing duo that they could make you laugh with the sound off, and there are perhaps more memorable lines here than in any Zucker brothers' movie. It moves along nicely, we're comfortable with the characters, and when we watch it again, knowing the jokes doesn't stop us from enjoying this non-committal banter between two iconic actors and a famous director in equal measure. And that makes for one hell of a comedy. ()
An absolutely perfect combination of Jean Reno's stone face and Gerard Depardieu's dumbfounded expression in one of the best comedies of the 21st century. The story is original and imaginative, the dialogue is witty and meaningful, and the running time is optimal. What more could you ask for! In short, the French have always been able to make classy comedies and Shut Up! is a prime example. ()
