Colourful, dazzling and utterly wonderful, Micmacs is another ravishing romp from one of the masters of modern French comedy.

Just don't look beyond the surface for truth and beauty. The surface is all there is.

Spectrum Culture
As with Gilliam, the cerebral detail of so much convoluted gimmickry can eventually wear thin-the director's manic fantasia overtakes the reality of his characters. But by then, you're beyond caring, and happily going along for the ride.

Rating: 3/5 --
Micmacs, finally, is a romp through comic cinema history in which everything zips by so fast that you're too distracted to notice that it's all completely meaningless.
Dallas Morning News
Rating: 2/4 --
Micmacs never bores -- Jeunet keeps the pace brisk and the mood ridiculous -- but the movie piles on the whimsy so tirelessly, you eventually start to choke on it.
Miami Herald
Rating: 2/4 --
It's more enamored with creating a specific look and feel than being cohesive, and as a result it becomes irreparably lost.

From the Front Row
Micmacs is clever, sweet, beautifully shot and disappointingly unsatisfying.

Product Description:
An underground lair serves as the point of inspiration for this deeply whimsical fantasy comedy (with echoes of Jodorowsky's RAINBOW THIEF) from French cause célèbre Jean-Pierre Jeunet (AMÉLIE, THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN). The locale is post-9/11 Europe. As arms dealers go head to head with one another in a series of violent skirmishes -- suggesting that an apocalyptic cataclysm may be lingering on the horizon -- the unfortunate Bazil (Dany Boon) still reels from the long-ago death of his father from a roadside bomb, an event that left him orphaned as a boy. Now employed in a low-paying job as a video-store clerk, and still trying to determine how he fits into the scheme of things, he gets hit by a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting and promptly lands in the hospital. Upon release, he finds himself broke and unemployed. Hope soon crops up, however, in the form of Placard (Jean-Pierre Marielle), an ex-convict living in a scrap dump with a motley group of social outcasts -- all of whom welcome Bazil with warmth, compassion, and hospitality. Sure of his place for the first time in his life, Bazil joins forces with them to turn the dump into a lovely underground home, filled to the rafters with extraordinary inventions and sculptures. Soon after, the possibility of revenge against the munitions manufacturers responsible for Bazil's dad's death presents itself.
