Eric and Ramzy are working as window washers at the Montparnasse skyscraper in Paris. Thinking that he has a date set up with beautiful executive Marie-Joelle (who in reality hates his guts), Ramzy stays at work late while Eric hangs around with him. As a result, the pair witness a gang of terrorists seize the tower and take its late-night occupants (including Marie- Joelle) hostage. Knowing that only they can save the day, Eric and Ramzy swing into action.
Don't Die Too Hard! is a French comedy riffing on Die Hard with popular duo Eric and Ramzy. The plot is openly derivative—a deliberate parody setup—so it earns no points for originality. The comedic chemistry between Eric and Ramzy keeps the acting serviceable and entertaining for fans of their style, but the cinematography is workmanlike TV-level fare. As a Die Hard parody it follows a well-worn template, and the ending resolves predictably. A moderately enjoyable but unremarkable genre send-up.
