This is an hilarious, action packed film, full of fun and good humour. If they fail, Cleopatra will feed them to her pet crocodiles! Problem is, they only have three months in which to finish the structure, not to mention the labour problems and attempts at sabotage that have been plaguing construction. The pride of all Egypt is at stake, because Cleopatra ( Monica Bellucci) must complete the project in order to win a bet she has made with Caesar ( Alain Chabat). In this particular adventure, Asterix ( Christian Clavier), Obelix ( Gerard Depardieu) and their druid Getafix ( Claude Rich) are hired by Edifis ( Jamel Debbouze), an Egyptian architect, to assist in the construction of a new palace. Obelix doesn't need the potion much, as he fell into a cauldron of the stuff when he was just a baby. Asterix & Obelix are buddies who find themselves in all manner of adventures and predicaments, problems usually solved with humour, violence and a drop of magic potion. The Gauls have managed to resist occupation by the Romans thanks to their druid, Getafix, and his magic potion that gives super-human strength to those who drink it. Set during the Roman conquest of Europe in 50 BC, most of the known world is under the governance of Caesar and Rome - that is, aside from one small village in Gaul.

Suffice to say, we had a ball.įor those who are not familiar with the series of books by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the basic premise of the story is fairly simple.
So, I invited my Dad to come and join me in seeing the film for the first time. When I received this film for review, I was keen to replicate the feeling I had of reading the books when I was young. A DVD of the film with English subtitles was hard to come by initially, but now we have both the original film ( Asterix & Obelix take on Ceasar) and this hilarious sequel, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra in Region 4. The action, adventure and humour of the books still impress me, and when I heard that a live action film was to be made starring Christian Clavier as Asterix and Gerard Depardieu as Obelix, I was more than excited. I would borrow the books from my school library and bring them home so we could read them together, sometimes half a dozen at a time. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of reading Asterix & Obelix stories with my Dad.
