See it un-dubbed!

Reviewer No. 1 is a bit tough I think. This is a hilarious movie well worth the money! BUT, I'm sure that the dubbed version (with English subtitles) is superior because you get more of the "atmosphere" that the actors try and create. Give it a go! January 31, 2007

Amiable but rarely particularly funny

Tais-Toi!/Ruby and Quentin reunites Francis Veber with Jean Reno and Gerard Depardieu, but it isn't up to the standard of his previous collaborations with either star. An amiable throwback to the Depardieu/Pierre Richard comedies (Les Comperes, Les Fugitifs and Le Chevre, remade as Father's Day, Three Fugitives and Pure Luck), with Reno in the Depardieu tough-guy role and Depardieu taking Richard's as the clinging genial idiot, it's a pleasant rainy day movie with a few good jokes but not enough to make it stick in the memory despite the sight of the two stars in drag. But, if in the next few years you see a Hollywood comedy about an idiot on the run from a prison asylum with a revenge seeking hardened con, you'll at least remember where the idea came from. And it's almost worth the price of the disc just to see Reno in drag.
