Friendzone

The story of a young man who does not know how to woo women. He ends up in the friendzone a lot. His friends guide him how to be more confident. Entertaining and romantic, even a little educating for young men. I liked the actors and the humour. The main plot is nothing new but it's made differently.

However, I found the break-up scene unnecessarily violent. I thought gender equality meant equal rights? But apparently, it's legitimate for a woman to floor a man with kicks and punches over a break-up.

It's a new French Netflix movie; the plot is passable and the actors are decent; Mickaël Lumière deserves much more recognition.

Especially men can get "trapped" in the Friendzone - of course it can happen to women too, but the general sense is that men are way easier to sway back into a relationship mode. Cliches be damned, I know - but even while this tries to be and stay fresh in many regards, it still does rely on certain things we do expect.

Having said that, there is a lot of sexual tension and a lot of drama concerning boyfriends and a group of girls who are helping our main character in his quest to win over a woman he is into. As someone else said "simple but fun". This is quite well distilled - and what you can expect from this movie. It may have a bit more sexual situations than you would have in an American movie of a similar theme but other than that this really stays focused on the ... "Quest". For better or worse - I'd say better because it does work all things considered.

Sweet pediatric nurse Thibault "Titi" always seems to get friendzoned by girls that he likes. After meeting Rose and the pattern repeating, his three closest friends help him become a new more mysterious man...exercise, dancing, enigmatic conversation...and he is ready to approach Rose again, only now she is back with her unfaithful boyfriend.

This is a short happily ever after romantic comedy and it moves swiftly through it's story. The best part was it's unexpected chase scene...I actually gasped, I was so surprised.

If you are looking for light fare and don't mind subtitles, this might be for you.

Loved the movie, great music, loved the actor. It's a little predictable like any other rom-com but in general it makes you smile, what else do we need?
