Seemed more like a way to work in as many glib facts about revolutionary France into one movie as possible. Overlong. Most of the puns in the dialogue were neither humorous, linguistically interesting, or even original. Character development is rather pathetic, and I could not care less about anyone in the film.
The Revolution may have been prevented had the French in 1789 known of this future pile of cinematic dreck that was to be made. Possibly the only good thing about this movie was having the opportunity to disparage it so in this comment; but, even this opportunity does not erase the horrible stain of this film on my previous opinion of French cinema as being halfway decent. Avoid.
