Alibi.com 2

In the realm of comedies, Alibi.com 2 stands out as a refreshing gem, surpassing many of its American counterparts with its clever wit and absence of crude toilet humor. This French sequel, released in 2023, continues the story of Greg, now engaged to Flo, as he navigates the introduction of his eccentric family to his beloved. To shield Flo from the truth about his family's unconventional ways, Greg revives his alibi agency, fabricating a set of fake parents for her.

Alibi.com 2 masterfully blends humor and heart, offering a delightful escape from the often predictable and crude jokes that plague many American comedies. The script is peppered with intelligent wordplay and situational humor, ensuring that the laughs are genuine and thought-provoking rather than relying on cheap gags and bodily functions.

The film's cast shines brightly, bringing the characters to life with impeccable comedic timing and genuine chemistry. Philippe Lacheau is charming as Greg, while Élodie Fontan radiates as Flo, their on-screen connection adding a touch of heartwarming romance to the comedic whirlwind.

Alibi.com 2 proves that comedy can be intelligent and sophisticated, leaving behind the tired tropes of American comedies that often resort to toilet humor for easy laughs. Instead, this French gem delivers a refreshing blend of clever wit, endearing characters, and a heartwarming story that will leave you smiling long after the credits roll.

No pun intended - also the concept (of the website) has worked before ... even if it came crashing down at the end of the first movie. It's been a while so maybe you are not entirely familiar with it anymore ... but I do think the introduction to the movie and the short ... let's call it recap is working wonders.

There is not much more needed actually. What you do need to know or be aware of: the movie is quite over the top a lot. So there is humor and there are situations that seem far removed from reality and what would and could happen in a sane world .. on the other hand, do we live in a sane world? One could question that too.

But I am talking about Jackass style things happening and a humor that you have to dig, otherwise you will not have much fun watching this ... literally. No white little lies ... big red ones. .. or whatever color works best for you. The actors ("old" and new ones) do a great job ... if you liked the previous entry, you will like this too. Because it stays true to the formula while still being new and fresh enough to entertain ...

One of the rare movie sequels that made me laugh as much as the first one!

I found that the story was very well constructed, the sequel makes sense and we discover with envy the adventures of the protagonists. I wonder what can happen in the head of these characters: each alibi built is behind another situation that will worsen the basic one, causing a chain reaction that the hero cannot prevent!

The family, the complicated relations of the hero with his parents, the lies, the secrets, and the farcical situations are there !

An excellent movie from La Bande à Fifi, which manages to renew itself with brio !

Bravo !
