Protect and Serve

Protect and Serve (Protéger & servir, 2010) is a French crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Eric Lavaine pairs the two worst cops in Paris and points them straight at a terror plot.

Kim Huang (Kad Merad) is a tightwad who somehow attracts every plain woman in town. His partner Michel Boudrieu (Clovis Cornillac) is a naive churchgoer dreaming up a Christian police drama. Friends since the orphanage, they botch nearly everything they touch. Then national police chief Aude Lettelier (Carole Bouquet) hands them a wave of bombings to stop.

The comedy is broad and proudly daft — built for fans of no-frills French farce rather than anyone after sharp satire. Stream Protect and Serve online on iFILM.
