Editorial Reviews

Bertrand Barnier est un riche promoteur dont la vie s'ecoule, paisible, entre sa femme et sa fille Colette. Pour entretenir sa forme physique, il s'exerce regulierement sous la direction d'un jeune athlete, Philippe, dont l'intelligence est loin d'egaler sa force. Le service de la maison est assuré par Bernadette (la jeune bonne), Oscar (le chauffeur) et un valet de chambre. cette confortable situation va etre considerablement perturbee, et c'est son collaborateur et homme de confiance, Christian Martin qui, faisant irruption dans sa chambre, un beau matin, inaugure la serie de tous les desastres.

1.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is in French without English subtitles, January 30, 2007

This review is from: Oscar (DVD)

I love Oscar with Louis De Funes but this DVD is in French without English subtitles and it is not an English version as this product page claims. Since I don't know French I can't enjoy it fully. I even bought it twice hoping to receive what is advertised on the page but twice I received the same French version. I am disappointed. I hope Amazon changes the description of this product soon since it is something different from what is being advertised.

3.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant De Funes comedy., May 19, 2007

This review is from: Oscar (DVD)

You must understand French to appreciate this movie otherwise you will be very disapointed as this movie probably coming from French Canada and DOES NOT have subtitle.

The comedy is an earlier one, refreshing, funny, though not as hilarious as Rabbi Jacob. I don't regret buying it, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars The pinnacle to Louis de Funes great career, October 29, 2010

This review is from: Oscar (DVD)

I have to disagree with both the other reviews. "Oscar" is the movie where Louis de Funes reaches his own top in terms of inventiveness and funniness. But of course, without the proper subtitles, english speaking people won't be able to fully appreciate his so very idiosyncrasic kind of genius.
I wouldn't say Oscar is up there with "Don"t look back... we're being shot at" but, nonetheless, I would advise any foreign Louis de Funes fan with knowledge enough in french language to purchase this little gem because they'll find every thing this great comedy actor had become famous for.
