Title from sell sheet.
Mathieu Amalric, Louise Bourgoin, Gilles Lellouche, Jean-Paul Rouve.
Adele, a redheaded, wisecracking, hard-living adventurer-cum-novelist living in pre-WWI France is on a mission in Egypt. She is attempting to retrieve a sarcophagus and tote it back to Western Europe. She succeeds on both fronts, but runs headfirst into another issue: a Parisian scientist with the power to heal Adele's comatose sister has accidentally let loose an ancient Pterodactyl above the Parisian skies. While a zany detective and a hunter attempt to eliminate the creature.
DVD, widescreen.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Unusual and Good submitted by krogers on July 15, 2019, 2:05pm Cute, entertaining, quirky (some might say bizarre) movie that reminds one weakly at points of the Brendan Fraser/Rachel Weisz Mummy movies. Has a strong female lead character, and it's fun to watch her single-minded determination to accomplish her goal in the face of ridiculous obstacles.

Enjoyed submitted by kathscot on August 24, 2019, 4:06pm I watched this on Netflix a while ago and enjoyed it.

Unusual and just so-so submitted by phuhn on August 30, 2019, 1:25pm It is dubbed... and is sometimes funny, but I would not watch it again.
