• hilarious!

  I saw this movie and absolutely ADORED it! however, i do speak french fluently, which might explain why, because the humor is typically french, and having lived amongst french and American people, i know that most English-speaking people will seriously not find this movie funny, be it in french or English. furthermore, these are the type of jokes that are only funny in the original language, which REALLY explains why people who saw it in English find it stupid. so chances are that if you didn't like it, either you didn't understand the humor, or you have a stick up your *** and are too cool for downright stupid comedy, because this movie is SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS.

• Seemingly stupid

  Schumius2006-04-15

  I watched this film on cable last night, I was bored and looking for something to kill the time, but what a seemingly stupid film turned out to be a pretty interesting work which reminded me of our own lives (or probably just that I'm presuming too much). The plot itself is pretty dumb, a 800 year war on shampoo and the history's first murder case. The dirty clan's plots to seize shampoo are downright moronic, but look at ourselves seriously, aren't there many things we do also equally stupid and useless? And about the stupid war, ah, the stupid war... I don't speak french so I don't know how's the quality of the sub, but it did make me laugh, the film itself is funny, the actors, the music, the colours, it's just unreal and that's what makes it funny. The scene in which the camouflaged boss dreamed about the modern world is unbelievably superb. He was stoned, and of course he should be, and looked around with terror while the salesman rattled on without any change of expression like the presence of the strange man dressed in leaves surprised him not (or at least not showing it). The boss then had a recurring nightmare, or a trauma, something that might be subtle, but within all of us. What's so great about this movie is that it parodies many aspect of our lives with seemingly stupid and childish approaches so successfully that I can't help laughing, at ourselves!

• Non-Sense, But Very Hilarious Silliness

  In 35,000 BC, the tribe of the Dirty Hairs is in war against the tribe of the Clean Hairs for eight hundred years, trying to get their shampoo. The chief of the Dirty Hairs (Gérard Depardieu) sends his daughter Guy (Marina Fois) disguised to the enemy tribe to get some shampoo for his tribe. When the healer of the Clean Hairs tribe (Alain Chabat) surprisingly kills two cavemen of his tribe, their imbecile chief (Maurice Barthélémy) assigns Pierre with curled hair (Pef Martin Laval) and Pierre blonde (Jean-Paul Rouve) to investigate the murder and find the criminal. "RRRrrrr!!!" is a non-sense and silly, but also very hilarious French movie. I liked a lot this original comedy, which is forgettable, but reaches the target, giving 94 minutes of entertainment and laughs. Fortunately I did not pay attention of the underrated IMDb Rating of 4.8 and I decided to buy this worthwhile DVD. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "RRRrrrr!!! Na Idade da Pedra" ("RRRrrrr!!! In the Stone Age")

  This movie is one of the most enjoyable movies I have come across. All of the jokes are completely ridiculous, so you can just stop thinking and laugh. After the introduction to the movie, I couldn't stop laughing for over half a minute. Now, if you are the type of person who exclusively likes movies which make you think (some of which are good), you will HATE this movie. If you just want to sit back and laugh at the incredible stupidity of all of the characters, this is the movie to do it with. I watched the movie with subtitles, but having knowledge of French couldn't hurt. From the little French I know, I managed to pick up a few of the jokes missed in translation and laughed at some of the translations.

• Laugh out loud funny!

  This movie was one of the best French comedies I have ever seen. Alain Chabat is one of my favourite directors, French or English. Although it may be funny to an English speaker watching it with subtitles, I think that to be able to understand every bit of this movie, puns and all, you have to be fluent in French. I speak french myself, and I own the movie. After watching it with the English subtitles, I have noticed that some of the jokes were either badly translated, or impossible to translate (such as "L'âge de Pierre", and everyone being named "Pierre"), exactly like the Austin Powers movies, which were impossible to translate properly to french. I didn't give this movie a 10 because Jean Rochefort and Gérard Depardieu did not have a big enough role. This is really the type of movie where you'll be repeating the jokes over and over again days after you've seen it!
