There are fast changing scenes but that's ok, in fact the director skips the non-funny parts this way :) Only flaw, some violence scenes that could be avoided (gunshots and wounds).
A must-see.

Another Master piece of laugh from Francis Veber
Francis Veber has been known for his ability to construct extremely entertaining films.
(For those of you who did not spot it, the film was made in 2003) The spirits of Stan Laurel, Harpo Marx and Father Dougal McGuire are duly invoked. So Tais-toi is a skillfully crafted piece of pure enjoyment, I would even say a master work in the comedy category. Just the job for this time of the year”. Here we have a Depardieu a good 30 pounds lighter than of yore and looking younger with it, playing the village idiot to a fare-thee-well against Jean Reno's strong silent type.
This mix includes 2 main characters, who basically shouldn't have anything to do with each other but who due to circumstances get together. Cliché and predictability neatly side stepped with pace and the verve of the off kilter humour. Good to laugh out loud though”. The French do these films so well”. All Reno has to do is bolt it down straight and sober; Depardieu is as alive as he's been in years, his wide-eyed fool brimming with glee and humanity, stealing and redeeming the show.
No dead moments, every single line of the script is there for a single purpose: to entertain us without appealing to our worst instincts. Normally that makes me suspicious. Depardieu has proven how deft and subtle a comedian he can be, most recently as the lovestruck homophobe of The Closet.
And without spoiling the comedy by disclosing some hillarious punchlines, I recommend this film to all cinema-goers, be they French- or English-speakers.
And while you laugh at these naive character, it's never aimed to make fool of them. A laugh out loud film!” “Hooray for cops and robbers”. of Very Poor votes * 1) )

What is F-Rated?
The F-Rating is applied to all films which are:
- Directed by women
- Written by women
- Has one or more significant women on screen
If it qualifies with one of the above it gets the Bronze rating.
With his new film he has hit on an inspired twist by having Depardieu now play the 'twat' (as playwright Ronald Harwood terms the Veberian gormless fool in his current London stage adaptation of The Dinner Game). Laugh out loud – so funny but so poignant too. “Thank you!
If it qualifies with all three of the above it gets the Gold rating.
It's harmless, formulaic stuff, but it's expertly played - particularly by Depardieu - and director Francis Veber applies a surehandedness and a deft turn of pace that keep the laughs ticking over even as the leads scrabble to cover the skinniest of plots.
Reno's Ruby is a coolly professional hardman, bent on taking vengeance on Vogel, the gangster who killed his girlfriend.
