Les Kaïra

Whether French or American, this kind of comedies screens quite similar: a very fun first ten to twenty minutes where one exposes the characters, their humor and their regular situation - which is often what's most fun about them.

Then the movie embarks in a "story". This one, though on the successful and funny side of the spectrum, falls into the same pitfalls as its peers: sometimes pointless, often too long. During that time, the gags become more sparse and you laugh less; always an issue in a comedy. Here this is balanced with cute cameos that do require a knowledge of french TV and pop culture.

It's still a funny movie and was great for a lazy Sunday morning viewing but definitely happy I didn't go to the theater to watch it...
