(comedy, crime)
Freddy Benson, a con(fidence) man, lives off women by waking their compassion with shocking stories about his fake fate. One day in beautiful Beaumont sur Mer, he meets Lawrence Jamieson, who shares the same passion, works the rich ladies with the same scheme, but in quite a different league. With the knowledge of his profession, Freddy forces Lawrence to teach him high-society behaviour, so that he himself can earn a major living. When time comes to say goodbye, Freddy decides to stay a little longer. As there is no way two con men can work a town that small at the same time, Lawrence and Freddy agree on a settlement: The first one to extract $50.000 from a young female target wins, the other leaves town. The sum is no match for Lawrence, the age of the lady no match for Freddy. Let the games begin!

This film made an impression on me, even before I saw him. I was in a theater,
and a trailer for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" came a. While a voice-over
talked about the value of promoting films of morality and civility, you saw
Caine and Martin strolling along a beachfront, smiling, as beneficently
greet passers-by. Then, Caine shoved cotton candy on one side, while children
Martin pushed a woman in front of a shelf.

It's a great sequence, and have been used in the DVD with their own commentary
director Frank Oz (which has never happened before?), but a bit misleading
. In fact, while men are scoundrels, or that is quite vile
. Caine is Lawrence Jamieson is actually a bit of an altruistic, as we find
, with a code of only taking on people who can afford to be taken, and
find ways to spend the money they do not are totally selfish.
Martin's Freddy Benson is less disciplined and smallest of their time to the contras;
he is going to steal candy from a baby and will tell you that it is for his poor sick Gram-Gram if
is captured, but he is sympathetic, too, a little lower with the idea of how
game is played at the highest levels, but eager to learn.

The fact that you can, as these characters is a compliment to Caine and Martin,
well as director of Oz and the team of writers. Tone is everything
with a movie like this, and as Oz said in its commentary, so important in making the
comedy work. The notes that 1950 was going to sit in the photo, I'm guessing
with Hitchcock "To Catch A Thief" in mind. The big score
Miles Goodman is sufficiently strong to merit its own new CD, with an air of sophistication
light buoys that actions on the screen. Most importantly,
since much of the comedy consists of people who take advantage of each other, having provided all
so Gossamer helps you digest
without leaving a history bad taste.

Martin shines in many scenes, especially when playing Ruprecht
the idiot man-child and when stuck in jail trying to remember the name of the only man
think you can freedom bail out ( "James Lawrenceton ... no, wait, James
Jesterton .... no, no, this is definitely, um ...") I knew Martin could be fun, and
with the exception of "All of Me" this is probably his best performance
comedy, but Caine is a revelation. A straight man, yes, but with
delicate moment and some clever characterizations that he pulls a
bag, like a psychiatrist Germanic with some unusual ideas about curing
limp. He forgets what is good in Caine comedy, despite his performances in films like this
, "The fault in Rio" and "Without a clue." Glenne Headly
is a revelation as the woman caught in Jamieson and Benson's
scheming, as good as their male counterparts, but say no more
.

Great players, great tone, but the plot is the best thing is this movie. It
a remake of a 1964 film "Bedtime Story", who joined
Marlon Brando and David Niven for what should have been a dream team, but was rather flat.
This time, the script is helped by agents who not only can deliver lines
fun, but make fun, and an end (according to Oz in its
comment, one worked over Several meetings long dinner with Martin)
that is simply perfect.

Finally, Oz has to be recognized. It was only his second shot not
Muppet movie here, but the result, in my opinion, is one of the best comedies
that nobody has ever done. He manages to get the best of all, including actors
and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus (some amazing night shots of the French Rivera
sea that never tire of seeing), and offers a rare gem of a film
A laugh-out-loud comedy that leaves you with a warm feeling inside
.

Ian McDairmid Arthur plays the butler in this teamwork with him
Oz yet again. Almost this review entitled "Yoda and Palpatine in the French Riviera;"
is interesting McDairmid plays a boy in "scoundrels" who is really in
level.
This is not classic, but I really enjoyed this movie. I've seen too many mediocre
"with the artist" comedies (ie, "Two Much," "Opportunity knocks,"
etc.) and it is nice to see one that works well. The two leads are very good.
Dialogue is fabulous. The pace is perfect - that keeps your attention
without moving too fast. The script is hilarious. I have no complaints about this movie
. Rent for a lot of laughter.

However, if you do not like this movie (and I do not see how the
possible), still must remain until the end. The end is wonderfully
fact, one of the funniest endings surprise since "The Sting" (another artist with
fabulous comedy).
