Review of OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009) by Justin S — 29 Jan 2012
I hope Jean Dujardin wins an Oscar for The Artist based solely on me having seen both OSS 117 movies and having the strong belief that he is the greatest actor of our time. Honestly, there is no other person that oozes as much charisma as this guy, even when he's saying really outrageous things. Also, his character in these movies should win an award for the best laugh of all time.
What is this movie? It's basically part two of the best spoofs ever made on the 'secret agent' archetype. Why do I think these are the best of the 'secret agent' spoofs? Because not only are these movies funny but they also truly capture the essence of old school James Bond, remaining classy and cool. On top of this they stand alone and work with or without prior knowledge of what they are spoofing. Coming from someone who hasn't seen many James Bond movies, I find these to be awesome and funny and in no way needing knowledge of who James Bond is or really anything about any secret agent at all.
The one thing I do have to say is at one point the Israeli lady says that she doesn't like OSS 117's style and well, I don't agree with her. The mans style is so fresh. I actually have made a conscious decision to dress like him when I have money and wear suites all the time.
So this review has probably told you nothing but what I'm getting at is, if you like to just watch classy people with fun music and secret agent stuff that is very accesible and cool and funny and has lots of beautiful ladies well then, this movie is awesome and you should watch it. The end.
