I had a really good time watching this

I have been laughing all along! Delon's self parody is so well fitting, Depardieu's jab at Cyrano, etc... Actually there are so many references to other movies that the actors made, I am pretty sure I did not catch half of them. There are a lot of good jokes as well as greasy ones. But if you do not expect Goncourt's phrases, that perfect! Schumacher's appearance is excellent, but you need to like F1 to appreciate the jabs. The others athletes are also well presented, but this can be understood as low self-gratification or as a great self-parody depending on the point of view. I personally saw great humor.

As for the story, it is quite light but well brought. The visuals are good and made to make laugh.

And I personally think that departure of C Clavier is not a lost. Still, you have to know the figures in this movie to enjoy it, knowing they are French/European only.
