Brice de Nice

The beginning of BRICE DE NICE is very funny, colorful and lively. It's very ridiculous but that's what makes it so funny. But once the "story" kicks in (father looses his money, Brice needs to find a job and live in the real world), the film falls apart and never recovers. There are a few interesting bits here and there but 80% of the film is almost unwatchable. It's so forced, trite and unfunny that it makes me wonder who created the first 20%.

The concept of BRICE DE NICE is not that different than one of those Saturday Night Live sketches and making a whole movie out of this wacky character was probably overkill when a short film or TV episode would have been sufficient.

I give the beginning an 8 but the rest of the movie a 1...cassé!
