I nuovi ricchi

It was my turn to pick a movie tonight so my wife was quite surprised I chose a rom-com, like she seemed to believe Nouveaux Riches (or All Time High for the English title) was. It might be a bit of a romantic comedy but there is fore sure a lot of action and violence so even men like me will like this genre of rom-coms. The violent scenes were nicely choreographed and looked real. The acting from Nassime Lyes and Zoé Maréchal was good and resulted in a nice chemistry between them. I had doubts in the beginning but the movie turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. The French language is mostly slang so subtitles are advised for people not mastering the French street language.

I laughed from start to finish, the jokes, the scenario everything is great. It's one of the funniest films I've watched, it's in the top 3, and if Calvoche is number one in the world. In a world like this, films like this do good, and there should be more of them. Nassim embodies the role perfectly, he is an incredible actor I think he deserves more recognition, and that he should be recognized for his true value because he is an incredible actor, in pure comedy I think he is the one that I prefer. Regarding Zoe I didn't know her at all but it's a very nice discovery because I find her brilliant and endearing in this character. The duo they form is great and I think we should keep it going. Thank you for this film! (ps: I am available for a casting if ever)

I watched this to practise French not expecting anything other than netflix dross, but was surprised at how funny and well executed the whole thing was. All the characters were fun, especially Youseff the wig-wearing rogue. I loved the arabic/gangster vibe as well which added colour to the vernacular. The fights are great and not over-long, and some death scenes and near-death scenes at the finalé were hilarious.

Recommended, I can't think of anything quite like it apart from something like lock stock and two smoking barrels, but this was a bit less concerned trying to look cool. Its a pity to be hammered in the imdb score, its a quality bit of cinema.

Not long ago I was complaining about the lack of originality in French cinema, well maybe I was wrong after all. I see that the reviews are not that great on this movie and yet I had a very good time: hilarious dialogues, multiple and intense fighting scenes, crazy stunts, well-crafted storyline, surprising actors and with some scenes that are borderline violent gore.

Some will dislike the suburbs constant trashy talk, which could be irritating but I found freshness there, in the face of cinema that is sometimes academic, conventional or too commercial which tires me.

I wouild advise even french audience to use the subtitles, specially if you're older than 40 because not everyone will not understand all of the dialogues.

I have not seen such a crazy movie in a really long time. The energy and the pacing is unbelievable, hectic, fight scenes like in a Jackie Chan movie, but more fun. The actors are great, characters somewhat reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's, but with a definite French flair. You might have to slow it down or rewatch some of the scenes, because it is easy to miss stuff in such a fast-paced film. It is hard not to be a fan of those two loveable hustlers and not to root for them to find whatever they're looking for - money, love, a change of fortune and a way out of the everyday fight to scrape together an existence....
