The Joint Brothers (1986)
After he is dismissed from his umpteenth job, Momo is kicked out of the family home by his fed-up father. He immediately joins his buddy Manu, who is also penniless having just lost his job at a cafeteria. The two decide to ask shady nightclub owner Sammy for a job, and he promptly hires them to transport back two statuettes from Amsterdam. Momo and Manu soon find out that these art objects are stuffed with drugs, but still manage to carry out their mission. They receive one kilo of grass in exchange, which they sell immediately. But while the business is lucrative, they discover that it's not so easy to become a full-fledged drug dealer...

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This movie is about two brothers (J. Villeret, G. Lanvin), trying to make money in a business they know nothing about (drug selling). Their ignorance of this business is the occasion of lots of funny situations. The classic opposition between the weak and legalist guy and the strong works once again very well. Although some aspects seems a little dated (the movie takes place in the 80's) and the music not really great, this movie's gonna give you some moments of fun. To be seen if you're bad mooded!!!
