Les Truffes (1995) - film review

Fed up with being beaten to pulp in rigged boxing matches, Patrick throws in the towel and heads for the South of France, to work on his brother’s pizza stall.  On the way, he runs into a failed conman, Nathaniel, who is just as eager to start a new life in a new town.  As they head southwards, the two men strike up an uneasy friendship and share more than a few adventures…

The combined talents of Jean Reno and Christian Charmetant fail to rescue this third rate comedy and the madcap comic situations soon become tiresome and predictable.  There are a few good jokes, and occasionally you sense that the film is going to take off and get better, but it doesn’t.  This is lowbrow comedy intended for a low IQ audience that will laugh at anything with a pig in it.
