Good start, but then it gets ruined

A Disappointing Continuation

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

hi from Greece! just saw the movie and i have to say it was very good. in fact i didn't expect it to be that good!it is a movie like "the Italian job" or "ocean's eleven" but with more hilarious scenes.the beginning of the movie brings you at once in mind the beginning of the Italian job! although after that it does not have the action displayed in the above films, it keeps you interested with it's funny situations and it's turns. it is a story of a group of former diamond thieves who now live in different countries but get together after many years and get in new troubles and hilarious situations not knowing that a game is played behind their back... so if you liked the movies mentioned above you know what to expect, only this movie is more funny... a movie definitely better than many Hollywood blockbusters!

This is one of the two last films featuring Jacques Villeret and by coincidence both are showing in Paris right now and offer a perfect illustration of the breadth of his range. A prologue set in 1980 features a jewellery heist on the Place Vendome; ten years earlier Yves Montand and Alain Delon showed how to do it subtly in 'Le Cercle Rouge' but clearly this equipe don't go to the cinema because they eschew subtlety in favour of brute force. Twenty five years later three of the gang are barely scraping a respectable living in three different countries cue the letter from the lawyer that reunites Serge, Gerard Lanvin, Lucien, Jacques Villeret and Henri, Gerard Darmon. It seems that the fourth man, Max, who served 25 years after hiding the loot, has died and entrusted the whereabouts of the grisbi to his son who naturally needs to be tricked out of it. That's it in essence but the fun is in watching three ex tough guys now fish out of water. Anna Galiena, the eponymous hairdresser in Leconte's movie reminds us how good she is as the widow of Max. Not a world-beater maybe but still highly enjoyable.
