Preview: OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2010)

Synopsis:

France's most legendary superspy returns for a second parody, this time heading down to Rio in his latest caper.

• Poster: C+

Review:

It may be notable or appealing to French audiences, the overly-large "OSS" is a bit distracting, though the rest of the poster is unfortunately reminiscent of the all-star caper comedies of the late '70s and early '80s. That lack of modernity may hurt the film's chance based solely on this poster.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

If you're familiar with the original film series, then this parody sequel should be of interest you, but for everyone else, this looks like every hapless spoof film that's come out in the last decade.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• May 7, 2010
