Viewers generally find 'OSS 117: Le Caire, nid d'espions' to be a hilarious and iconic parody of classic spy films, with Jean Dujardin's performance as the clueless yet charming OSS 117 receiving widespread praise. The film's humor, which cleverly mocks the sexism and racism of the era it depicts, resonates well with audiences, although it's noted that its specific brand of humor might not appeal to everyone. The blend of absurdity and nostalgic homage to 1950s espionage cinema creates a uniquely entertaining experience.
👍 Jean Dujardin's performance is a standout.
👎 Humor may not suit all tastes.
