Serial Lover

Many people wrote good reviews about this movie but there is more about it.

About the title, it's not in french because serial killer is as much used as "tueur en série" and "amoureuse en série" doesn't make as much sense as serial lover. "Serial" anything is associated with serial killers for french people.

Michèle Laroque's performance is outstanding but there is more, many actors known as "les robins des bois" play on this movie and add their own touch of absurdity.

There is also albert dupontel, he is an actor at first and he's also a director nowadays, if you like this comedy, you should try his movies as well.

I hope you all enjoyed this movie as much as me, i just discovered that gem and i'm happy to know there is still amazing movies to discover from my own country and all over the world.

A murder-slapstick-comedy. Reminded me a little of those old Louis de Funes movies, but Serial Lover is much more 90s, and much more bloody, too. The funniest film I've seen since Clerks.

I can't imagine anyone I know who wouldn't have a hell of a time with this movie. It's so funny! And the female lead does a perfect job of playing your average woman who suddenly has things getting way, way over her head, without knowing how she got into that mess in the first place.

While it may not be totally original all of the time, this movie has a certain kind of freshness to it that I haven't seen in comedy movies for years.

Did I say it is funny? It is. From start to finish.

See it before they make the (inevitable) americanized version.

Wow!

Late last night I turned on TV and found myself 35 minutes into a French movie. Just when I was about to switch channels, it started to get really interesting. Unfortunately I don't know how the movie starts, but from the middle it is action all the way and the plot takes so many new turns one thinks this was the fruit of a writers' relay, if you see what I mean. The absurdity made me think of Peter Sellers' "Oh what a party" or how it is called.

This is a movie I might recommend to friends - not all friends, but those who have the right kind of humor.

BTW, I wonder if the character ever got herself a new man..

So, OK, the others users say everything about it. It's very funny, very black humor. This is also very original and creative. We also got a chance to see Michèle Laroque starring in a movie. In French Cinema, she's always fourth of fifth on the bill. But there's one thing I really hate about this film : this is a French movie, so why the title is in English? Did Americans gives French titles to their movies? No! So why did the French do that (there's also their movie Sitcom, with an English title). And why all the songs of this French movie are in English? Did France have problems with their own identity?

I saw this movie on TV some years ago and I'm still waiting for a rerun. I missed the beginning, but what I saw was hilarious. You must have a twisted sense of humor to understand, but if you do, this film is very much worth watching. Like being said, it's about a woman who accidentally kills four men in her birthday party and then tries to hide what she has done. Picture this, a corpse sitting in an armchair, a woolly hat in his head to hide the murder weapon, and everybody thinks he's just watching TV. There is also a scene where some people pee down from balcony on people below and they think it's just raining. And just when you think it's all over... No, I won't spoil the fun. Get ready for a big laugh.
