Fed up with Caesar’s taunts that Egypt ain’t what it used to be and Alexandria is no more than “a suburb of Rome,” Cleopatra (Bellucci, imperious and sexy) bets Julius that her workers can build him a desert palace (yep, “Caesar’s Palace”) in three months flat. The cast brims with comic talents that are household names in Gaul, starting with Jamel Debbouze - the sweet delivery boy who works with the nasty grocer in “Amelie” - as Numerobis, a young architect drafted to help Cleopatra win her bet with Caesar (Chabat), which is pic’s raison d’etre.
