Asterix at the Olympic Games

 

aka: Astérix Aux Jeux Olympiques
France 2008, 116 minutes
Dir. Frederic Forestier, Thomas Langmann
In French with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy, Family

Topics: Sequelitis.

 

Aroview: Fairly loose adaptation of the original comic follows the oddball duo as they try to win the Olympic Games in order to set their friend up with a beautiful princess.

Not unusual for such a beloved franchise, this is money-soaked, with more than enough lavish set-pieces and celebrity cameos to keep the younger ones amused, although at the cost of much of the charm and wit of the original comics. Regardless, if you ever wanted to see Asterix go head-to-head with Michael Schumacher in a chariot race, this is your chance.
