A sequel with free-spirited comedian Digal

A police officer of Moroccan origin infiltrates a castle in Essonne as a fake Portuguese investor. In this heavy and cliched comic slogan. But also some funny moments.

againstCould a feature film with less than half a million views, despite comfortable theatrical distribution, benefit from a sequel? This result must first be compared with the modest budget of the first part: “only” 1.2 million euros, while French multiplex comedies generally have around 10 million. We must remember then that the operation was affected by the health restrictions in the summer of 2021. The last explanation is discovered in the credits of the second opus, when the Amazon logo appears, after the TV channels, encouraged by the success. toPortugal Operation 1 When made available on the Prime Video platform.

Accompanying the second person's bons – a trio of adjoints with differences in the taille of Dalton -, the high-quality vehicle with a marocaine s'infiltre, this place, in the tant that the faux investisseur portugas is a veritable immobile promoter (Grégoire Bonnet, de The series Captivity scenes), at the Château de Courances – decoration, among other things, of Meaning of party. If previously directed by director Frank Simmer, comedian D'jal moves freely here, aided by a loose, if not non-existent, screenplay.

There are still funny moments: the muzzle of a bicycle thrown over the perimeter wall or the slipping of skates on the precious parquet floor of the castle. Even this ecumenical battle, which saw a priest (armed with an incense burner) and an imam (armed with a stick) team up, was clearly inspired by the kung-fu-practicing churchman in Peter Jackson's 1992 cult film, Brain death.
