In 35,000 BC, the tribe of the Dirty Hairs is at war against the tribe of the Clean Hairs for eight hundred years, trying to get their shampoo. The chief of the Dirty Hairs sends his daughter Guy disguised to the enemy tribe to get some shampoo for his tribe. When the healer of the Clean Hairs tribe surprisingly kills two cavemen of his tribe, their imbecile chief assigns Pierre with curled hair and Pierre blonde to investigate the murder and find the criminal.
RRRrrrr!!! is a French prehistoric comedy parody from Les Robins des Bois, built around the absurdist premise of warring tribes feuding over shampoo in 35,000 BC. The plot is deliberately silly and moderately inventive in its comedic construction, blending parody with murder mystery elements in a caveman setting, earning a middling score. The acting is broadly comedic and uneven, relying heavily on caricature rather than craft. Cinematography is functional for a comedy of this budget and ambition — nothing remarkable but serviceable enough. Novelty is modestly above average; the shampoo-war concept and prehistoric setting give it a quirky, distinctive French flavor uncommon in international comedy. The ending wraps up in typically chaotic fashion without much payoff, leaving it below average.
