Review of My New Partner

Because of the timeless plot "Les Ripoux" remains one of my favourite comedies. The performance of all actors is excellent, but Noiret and Lhermitte are brilliant. A good story and an absolute reasonable scenery make this movie a pearl, towering miles above for example the usual Hollywood fast-food. Claude Zidi is not known for deep sophisticated dramas and "Le Ripoux" is also not falling in this category but believe me, the movie IS clever in a certain way. If your heart is with the little people and you never saw this movie, try to watch it soon because afterwards you will want the sequel as bad as the boss wants his medicine (would be too big a spoiler if I'd tell you what this is about). I can't wait to get all 3 DVD's. 10 thumbs up for this fantastic movie.
