" What happens when a crazy French dude and an Arab terrorist go undercover as Jewish rabbis in New York? Complete and utter madness haha! For some reason, this movie was way funnier and entertaining than it technically should be. It's fast paced and combines 1970s adventure/on the road genre (I think The In-Laws 1979 may have ripped off this film a bit) with the most moronically hilarious comic talents of Louis De Funes and it becomes impossible to hate this.
