I gotta admit it--I'm not particularly a Jacques Tati fan. Although many consider his films exceptional, I just never felt that excited by them. However, in this film he does not play the more familiar Mr. Hulot character, and as such has a little more dialog and his humor is a little more briskly paced (as much of it is done on bicycle).
This is certainly not a bad film and I liked it more than the Hulot films. In fact, I laughed a few times when I watched it. It's just that I felt it was a very slight film--not especially remarkable but fun to watch. I'm sure than in 6 months or so, I will have forgotten most of it.
