Un indien dans la ville
1994 Comedy   

 

Review
This lowbrow comedy may appeal to children but has little to offer the grown-ups (particularly those of an arachnophobic disposition).  It’s an obvious French take on the “concept movie” and like most such films has virtually no plot and a set of characters that would be better placed in a kid’s strip cartoon.  There are a few laughs, but after a while, the juvenile comedy begins to get very tiresome.
