The first 5 minutes are so bad you will turn it off then Don't waste your time. It wants me to keep telling you how horrible it is but after putting up with 10 minutes I had to turn it off it's just 10 minutes your life you're not going to get back it's that bad. It wasn't does a 300 characters for me to tell you how awful it is how bad the acting is how bad the people look if this movie had a makeup artist she should have been fired immediately. It wants another 150 characters to keep telling you how horrible this is I don't know how bad I can keep telling you a movie is Don't watch it don't waste your time Don't turn it on run if someone suggests watching it.
This movie is ridiculous, but in a fun way. It's got an interesting mix of French 90s comedy vibes (think La Cité de la Peur-a bit absurd, borderline surreal) and American-style dumb gag comedy. The cast is surprisingly good but let's be honest: the main event here is Jonathan Cohen.
Cohen is an improv genius. He's one of those actors who can get a laugh just with his facial expressions, and his lines are pure gold. In a way you could see him as a French version of Will Ferrell: If you already like him, you'll enjoy this movie. If you hate him, don't even bother. And if you're unsure, give it a shot-he might surprise you.
One thing to keep in mind: this is definitely one of those movies that work better if you speak French. A lot of the humor relies on wordplay and cultural expectations. Without that, it might sometimes feel like a bunch of recycled gags you've seen before.
So, if you're into Jonathan Cohen or absurd humor, you'll have a good time. If not, maybe skip it. Up to you!
