The Cabbage Soup Reviews

When I was a kid, I used to watch a lot the movies starring Louis de Funès. Indeed, back in the 60’s and 70’s, de Funès was probably the most popular comic actor in France and after his death, he was still massively popular when I was growing up in the 80’s. His movies were very often on French TV, I watched many of them and I thought they were really hilarious. To be honest, not all his movies were so great though and this one which he made towards the end of his career was actually rather lame. I mean, somehow, it still managed to become a cult-classic in France but, at the end of the day, the whole concept was actually rather abysmal. I mean, basically, you have 2 farmers, some cabbage soup, an alien and many, many farting jokes. Sure, when I was a kid, I thought it was rather funny and Louis de Funès was always entertaining but I think the whole thing is nowadays terribly dated. To conclude, in my opinion, it might be the weakest comedy starring de Funès and I don’t think it is really worth a look, expect maybe if you are a huge fan of those old French comedies.
