The movie's humour tends to come from the awkward, mildly sexual moments between Leon and Matilda, which gives the movie a few 'shouldn't laugh' moments, but Leon's reactions are what makes it funny, as Jean Reno again, is spot on.

Like Besson's films often have there's this borderline fantasy feel to Lon which is kinda enhanced by the over-the-top performance of Gary Oldman as the psychotic DEA agent and Lon's childlike mentality.
