1 de enero de 1993: fecha de la creación de la Eurozona. Dos agentes de aduanas -un belga y un francés- se enteran que su puesto en la frontera, situado en los pueblecitos de Courquain, Francia y Koorkin, Bélgica, está a punto de desaparecer. Ruben Vandervoorde es el agente de aduanas belga y la francofobia es una tradición familiar. Pero ahora se verá obligado a inaugurar la primera brigada móvil mixta franco-belga. Su equivalente francés será Mathias Ducatel, enemigo de toda la vida de Ruben y que está secretamente enamorado de su hermana. Para sorpresa de todo el mundo, Mathias acepta ser el compañero de Vandevoorde. Juntos peinarán las carreteras rurales fronterizas a bordo de un vehículo especial de las aduanas internacionales: un Renault 4L a punto de estirar la pata. (Wanda Visión)

Before I give you my review, I would like to thank the users Enšpígl, Snorlax and emma53. I’d like to thank the ladies for recommending the movie to Enšpígl, and I’d like to thank Enšpígl for passing it forward. Thanks to them, we got to enjoy an absolutely amazing French-Belgian comedy that at times can be pretty uncompromising. Dany Boon, the French guy, is taking it easy. But Benoit Poelvoorde as the Belgian is really brutal. The first half is built up so well that I thought that I would never again get to laugh so hard in my life. But the second half was really different. The frequency of jokes gets a lot lower, but I still have to agree that I hadn’t seen such a good comedy in a long time. Actually, I didn’t even know that this rivalry existed. Now I know and I will have something to look back on.

A great French comedy with an original idea about closing the border, which doesn't suit the customs officers because they will lose their jobs. Starring the absolutely excellent racist and strongly patriotic Benoit Poelvoorde, who shows his comedic talents, and Dany Boon, who is more of a typical dork. The film is very enlightening as to the differences between France and Belgium and I had no idea that there was so much intolerance there. Funny, informative and well acted. 85%.

I considered this movie suitable for watching together with my partner. But after about 15 minutes, she gave up and said she would rather do household chores. I bravely persevered until the end only because the alternative of cleaning the house made me feel nervous. However, I did not fall in love or sympathize with this French comedy about customs officers affected by the European Union's disaster without internal borders. It is not offensive, stupid, or downright dysfunctional. On the other hand, if a television station airs the title on a weekday at 9:30 in the morning, it has no illusions about its audience potential - it simply won't be a blockbuster. The humor used in the movie did not appeal to me because of its excessive literalness and straightforwardness. Moreover, I like it when such humor is presented more civilly. Here, for a greater effect, it was exaggerated by a few percent more than I consider reasonable. Overall impression: 45%.
