5.0 out of 5 stars review of Rumba, November 17, 2009

This is a French movie where not a word of French is spoken for the first 18 minutes! Words aren't needed as this very funny film uses sight-gags to make you laugh.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, December 20, 2009

Disappointed
I bought the DVD Rumba because I enjoyed enormously the gags shown in an advertising short cut movie presentation. Taken independently the jokes are very good:
* A lesson of English to French speaking kids
* The end of the school
* A man trying to commit suicide by being hit by a vehicle
* Abel and Gordon entirely destroyed home by a fire leaving them without shelter under heavy rain
* Flowers sent to the sea and immediatly coming back by Gordon to commemorate Abel drowning.
The movie was becoming more and more boring: the mere addition of all theses gags does not make a 77 minutes movie.
The couple, Gordon and Abel, certainly enjoy their job but in anyway they cannot be compared to Jacques Tati, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Marx Brothers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Creative, Heart-warming,, December 15, 2009

By	Sanjeev Naik (US) - See all my reviews

I picked up this movie not knowing what to expect. It turned out to be one of the most creative movies I have seen in recent times. It takes slapstick comedy (if you can call it that - I call it art!) to a whole new level. True - it is at-times surreal but the two actors (and the director) handle emotions so well, that even without much dialogue they succeed in keeping you hooked for the entire movie. The director does a fine job weaving the tale around situations that take some real absurd turns (for eg: the flaming fake leg scene). And yet... in the end it does not feel over-done. What keeps you going is not only the quirk characters but also the fine creative way of story-telling, in my opinion.

In terms of creativity, this movie was definitely off-the-charts and for that alone, this deserves at least 4 stars and gets a must-see recommendation from me. (Must add: Definitely not a movie for people that are used to standard fare that Hollywood churns out though.)
