not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot
Alone from 7; from 6, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.
The sweet spot: around 10-12, the age when you catch the puns and the nods, which are half the film. Why a sweet spot?
The trailer
What it's about
History's favorite Gauls assist Queen Cleopatra when she wagers that the Egyptian people can build a palace for Julius Caesar in just three months.
Why 7
- Our readingThere is not a single swear word in the whole film and the blood is slapstick blood. What counts is the volume: two minutes of shouting, a hundred and thirty one images of brawling, a palace on fire and a cut every second and a half. The death threats are all crocodile talk, and no one ever actually dies.reading
- Death, threatened but never shownCrocodiles are the running threat, and the word death comes up about nine times in the dialogue, always as a joke or a boast. Nothing is ever shown, and no one actually dies.
- Brawls played for laughsThere is a lot of punching, a few blades and a burning palace, but it lands like a cartoon: helmets fly, bodies bounce, and the music keeps winking. The bruises and fake blood are part of the gag, not a wound.
- Dark scenes and one scare or twoSeveral stretches at night, inside tombs and passageways, with sudden noises and shrieks. A young child may grip your arm for a moment, then laugh at the next line.
- Fast, dense and very talkativeThe cutting is rapid and the dialogue never stops, with puns and references aimed over kids' heads. Younger viewers will enjoy the slapstick and miss half the wordplay, which is fine.
- Wine, kisses and cigarettesAdults drink at banquets, there are a few kisses, and smoking turns up here and there in period style. Nothing insistent, nothing shown as attractive.
What the movie brings
- A pure dose of comic timing and absurd wordplay that kids can quote for years.
- It shows a team of misfits pulling off something impossible by helping each other.
- A playful, cheerfully unserious doorway to ancient Egypt and Rome.
