Gérard Depardieu & Jean Reno together, it's a winning combination. In a comedy it's just a perfect match, certainly when you know Francis Veber wrote and directed the movie. Francis Veber has nothing to prove anymore when it comes to comedies. With his trilogy of Le Grand Blond, L'emmerdeur, La cage aux folles, La chèvre, Les fugitifs, Le dîner de cons and so many more funny movies he is a name for a guaranteed good comedy. All those movies are just classics of the French cinema, especially in the comedie genre. In Tais-Toi (or Ruby & Quentin for the English title) we get another story about a duo on the run, a bit like Les Fugitifs from 1986, with also Gerard Depardieu associated with Pierre Richard for that movie. It's just an entertaining story, with funny characters. Francis Veber likes to play with characters that are annoying and/or dumb, it's one of the recurrent things in his movies, and it works all the time so why would he change this formula? If you don't like any of those movies mentioned above then you won't like this one either, but if you do like the other movies then you won't be disappointed by Tais-Toi!
