Academy Award Winner writer\/director Michel Hazanavicius\u2019 easy, unpretentious, and stealthily smart comedic style found its perfect vehicle in a send-up that spoofed not just the spies, but the preposterous chauvinism of the \u201860\u2019s. Riffing on the Jean Bruce created character OSS 117, aka Hubert Bonnisseur de la Bath \u2013 who incidentally predates Ian Fleming\u2019s James Bond \u2013 the film is an affectionate, richly detailed period pastiche. And the irresistible, mischievous charm of actor Jean Dujardin was never put to better comic purpose as the man France dispatches to Cairo with one absurdly simplistic mission: to make the Middle East safe.\u00a0<\/em>
