Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie is dedicated to Terry Jones, former Monty Python member who died in January 2020, who had played in two of Albert Dupontel's movies: The Creator (1999) (as God) and Locked Out (2006) (as a homeless person). Incidentally, another former Monty Python member plays in the present movie: Terry Gilliam (as a hunter in the advertisement). Albert Dupontel has said that the Pythons are a source of inspiration for his work.

Featured review
In a million years I never would've come up with the plot of Albert Dupontel's César-winning "Adieu les cons" ("Bye Bye Morons" in English). The plot combines focuses on underage pregnancy, stressful work, and political activism. It does so without turning silly or preachy.
The viewer may have noticed that the movie is dedicated to Terry Jones and features a brief appearance of Terry Gilliam. Despite Monty Python's renown, I wouldn't have predicted a French dramedy casting or commemorating any of the members.
Anyway, it's a fine movie. Basically, it's about righting the wrongs. I'll have to see more of Dupontel's movies, and in the meantime I recommend this one.
