Double zéro (2004)
Ben and Bill are the two worst, completely useless agents - real losers. But who else would you send on a super-difficult top-secret mission? The French have just sold a new high-power M51 rocket to the Russians for crazy money. Unfortunately for them, the rocket was hijacked before they could get it of their hands. However, not just any fool is up to neutralizing this threat, but only the craziest and most stupid of them can cope with such a task.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I'm a big fan of Eric and Ramzy but I can't believe I've spent money on a ticket for this movie. In fact, I'm afraid I've paid twice for this piece of junk: once when I've bought a ticket and once as a taxpayer: I wouldn't be surprised if public fundings to support french art (doh!) were granted to produce it. Poor jokes, gross humor, I might have smiled once during the whole film. Most expensive smile in my life. If I could set a mark lower than 1, I would have gladly done it.Don't waste your time watching this movie, buy a copy of "La tour montparnasse infernale" instead !
The "James Bond spoof" has been done so many times by now that it should be considered a genre by itself, and "Double Zero" has very little that's fresh to offer. Do not think for a moment that because this is a French production it has any more sophistication or wit than, say, Leslie Nielsen's "Spy Hard" - it doesn't. It does have a glossy look and large-scale "megalomaniac villain" sets that recall those of such Bond films as "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker", but nothing very funny happens inside them. The highlights are: 1) Plenty of fighting girls that I wanted to see more of (the fight on the beach is terrific), 2) A digitized horny rabbit (you'll see), and 3) The villain's uncanny resemblance to a younger version of Alan Rickman.

I saw it in French and I loved it. Even though I couldn't understand the dialogue, the physical comedy alone was enough to make me watch the whole movie. The big effects budget and super hot women just make it better.If you liked the slap stick quality of Austin Powers, definitely check this movie out.And now a few lines to meet IMDBs minimum line requirement.Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Indeed they are ... at the expense of the backers. If this film was up for a prize then 'Double Zero' is what I'd give it.Some people may find this funny. I would not like to meet them.If these two clowns are the best 'agents' that France could find, then I'd consider emigrating 'toute suite' ...Gerard P has struck out with this one and wasted not only a great deal of money but nearly 90 minutes of human existence. His last outing with 'Riders' has been well eclipsed with this one. Anyone who remembers 'Riders' will certainly remember the awful performance by Bruce Payne. Faux American accent combined with about as much acting talent as a tin of salmon.He seems to have found a vertiable secret treasure trove of z-list actors for this.Go ahead, watch 'Double Zero' but don;t say that I didn't warn you.
