Clearly this franchise is going to divide opinion. First of all it's a spoof and not only that but a spoof of a spoof of a spoof; when the first James Bond movie, Dr. No, took off and spawned a franchise that it still going strong it was ripe for satire and it came in two forms, Derek Flint (James Coburn) and Matt Helm (Dean Martin). The French got in the act with OSS117, which was revived a couple of years ago with a new actor, Jean Dujardin, who resembles a cross between Sean Connery and Leonard Rossiter which makes him effective for English viewers especially as he is written as a Mr. Bean with charisma. The plot is hogwash but its anti-PC stance shows its heart is in the right place. Basically you'll either laugh out loud or cringe.
