Triplets of Bellville


the mouse gets smacked...and its good
only older, hairier palmed people will get what the french writer(subtitle scared fans dont worry theres bearly any dialouge in this movie)was getting at. im not saying that kids wont find some gut busters: where else can find a bunch of grandmas making money off hitting a refrigerator with a drum stick or a bunch of people getting food by throwing a hand grenade into a frog pond? its just that they wont get the main idea: making a surreal disney parody. just listen to the story: a young boy is living with his grandma and is depressed about his parents death. the grandma feels for him and buys him a bike. 20 years latter he rides in the tour de' france, and is captured by a bunk of square Smiths(weirdest matrix reference i've ever seen.) and taken to the french underground. When the grandma catches wind of this it off to france and to the rescue. sure a couple jokes are repetetive(the whistle and the dog barking at trains.)but its general absurtity and hilaroius chase scene will have you laughing before you can even start to be bored. dont let its french backround fool you: Triplets is worthy.
