Le Gendarme et les gendarmettes

Is it easier to pursue alpinism on the French Riviera or to spend a whole day as a policewoman in high heels? If it’s the first one with rectal care and old Maryvonne Cruchot, then police work in pumps is definitely harder. The film has its share of dull moments but also a few that will stay in your memory forever (like the ride of the venerable mother in the lightening CV duo, which even Dom Toretto can’t match). The motif during supposedly dramatic scenes slightly feels like it stole from the iconic Michel Colombier motif in Hunter Will Get You. (19.12.2022)

I give it at least an average rating, but more just for nostalgia. It's just not the same anymore. There's a lot of pushing the envelope here, but in reality, it's just not funny anymore. The whole story is so strange and doesn't really work; those girls are just there purely for decoration, and it didn't really have any other meaning. It's a shame; as a final farewell to a great comedian, it could have had a better script. (20.06.2017)
