When it comes to French comedies, I definitely prefer those starring Louis de Funés. Jean Reno is a likeable guy, and thanks to Momo (Michel Müller) I actually laughed, but it's not up to other French classics. All in all, an average affair that's good to kill an evening.

Reno’s good-hearted cop Hubert embodies steel. He has fists made of it, a Smith & Wesson Model 686, nerves of steel when dealing with shopping frenzies and the hormonal imbalances of his new daughter, and given his consumption of Japanese ginger, he probably has a steel mouth too! I must be getting older, but I felt less awkward during the tear-jerking reunion and farewell scenes than during the Besson-style infantile action in Taxi. Just as things often got lost in translation during the black rain in the Land of the Rising Sun, Le Japon contributed its charm to the clash of cultures.
