Vive les femmes!

The scene in the classroom when Catherine Leprince is at the desk, showing her panties, is very funny. And the scene with Mammouth (Maurice Risch) drunk, wanting to slap the woman who is 5 minutes late at the meeting, is funny. It's not quite a masterpiece but it's fun watching.

Vive les Femmes can best be described as a French sex comedy- not unlike one of those rather dowdy Brit sex comedies of the 1970s in tone (although better made). It is more "Can you Keep it Up for Week" than Benny Hill or "Carry on Garcon".

The film is notable more for the considerable nudity than for the cracking humour. Various dodgy French blokes try to get their legs over on holiday- but thankfully we get to see their targets in the buff on several occasions. The French do incidental nudity so much better than Hollywood- probably because the women look real from the size of chests to the thickness of their thatch. Anyway- they are uber-cute (or at least Catherine Leprince is).

For that reason alone this movie is worth seeing- if you want belly laughs I'd probably stick with Woody Allen.

Tries for romance. Lonely people try to find Mr or Mrs Right. Comedy is comic book sketches on hols and in apartments. Sometimes dodgy dated e.g. Violence between couples and panties shown off to pupils by a teacher. Catherine Leprince is nevertheless a particularly sexy presence and the jazzy score is fun.
