JVCD is still charismatic, and not afraid to lampoon himself at this point in his career, so there's that going for this French comedy/adventure. Everyone knows it's dumb fun, and that's the way everyone plays it. I found the acting generally top-notch, and the characters likeable. Even the antagonists.
For what it is, it's very well-made, and quite funny at times. There are scenes you know are just there to appeal to a certain demographic, but that's hard not to find that in a movie these days. I really enjoyed the somewhat eclectic soundtrack which adds to the mood.
I never fast-forwarded which is more than I can say for a lot of modern movies. Take it for what it is, understand that the humor is somewhat French, and enjoy it.
