Got to Be Real

Inspector clouzeau from the eyes of a French comedian in LA

I am a stand up comedian and based in LA for two years. I have to stay that besides that the fact none of the actors in the film sound French to French people they do take on mannerisms and some of our behavior. I love whenever Clouzeau uses his charm towards women..it is so naive, so real, truthful and I guess in a way very French. At some point he talks about not doing any harassment and finds himself caressing the derrière of a woman working for him. Also very funny is the dance show he is putting on with a manly man such as Jean Reno. Something very French in coleus is the fact that he is not very professional and any Frenchmen compared to American are not professional either. Will this movie make America love more France? I am not sure Will they laugh more? Maybe so. It is better to make fun than hating I guess. Jean Reno's good, Kevin Kline's quite good and of course Steve Martin remains what he is known for, a genius in the world of comedy.
