Enormous

I don't often write reviews and I usually like French movies as french is my first language. But this one was a pain to watch. At first I laughed and thought it's a good comedy. But then the more the movie goes on and the more long, boring stupid scenes went on. At the end it's only about stretching the minutes, I fast fowarded the last 45 minutes and did not feel like I have missed anything.. The characters are so stupids and unenjoyable and I'm not even starting with how bad the acting was done. This could be categorized as amateur movie and the lowest kind.

I am far from a difficult person regarding movies but this was too bad, it's not even "so bad it's good" it is so bad...it's bad.

To the music, an ode to man and wife, an ode to the newborn child and an ode to all the people inbetween the the sowing of the seed and the final delivery, the therapeuts, the sage femmes the obstetricians and the simple nurse. if you have children, wanna have a child, or maybe pregnant by accident do try this film. me and my wife are both nurses( yes we met at school) ,had severe contractions and urges to push, so the real drama at the birth are very fluid , calm and utterly realisticly made.

its a comedy about a couple that havent even thought of a baby, but the husband suddenly gets the idea, and starts ''operation pregnancy'', and the methods used are pretty ingenious.

its a low budget production, a little bit slow and a tiny story, but its acting swells like the belly of this woman. i think the assisting cast, ''the proffesionals'' played their role extremely good. actually, this film could easily been used in the maternity classes, as a wake up call and for a good laugh to decrease the belly tension a bit.

so if youre in for the maternity ward tomorrow, do take this couples experiences along with you, a superbly made film thinks the grumpy old man.

A man switches her wife contraceptive pills with sugar pills because he wants a baby but she doesn't want and therefor he gets her pregnant against her will... and this is suposed to be a comedy...shockingly it's directed by a woman

The director introduced the film virtually from France complaining her politicized audience failed 2laff.

Here in NYC via FIAF WE GOT THE JOKE and the laughter here was Enorme beaucoup!!!

Pleez find a usa distributor. That big belly deserves the Big Screen ... 💘

Claire and Frederic (Marina Foïs and Jonathan Cohen) make up a happy, functioning, childless marriage. She is an internationally famous but introverted classical music pianist and he is her charismatic manager and assistant and they travel the world with a busy concert schedule. But an incident in which Frederic participates will alter the agreements on which their marriage is based.

Enormous is a great comedy by Sophie Letourneur that upsets the roles and priorities assigned to men and women in relation to pregnancy, motherhood, fatherhood and professional life without ever falling into acrimony or caricature, doing it with a lot of carelessness, touches of delirium and a documentary record at times.

Cohen is a very funny comedian; his character can necessarily be infuriating and he is too used to making all the decisions in the couple. Claire (the versatile Marina Foïs is the writer of Cantet's El atelier, a completely different role) stoically copes with her unwanted pregnancy, which at the moment takes disturbing turns.

Enormous could be seen, in the treatment of its topics and with the forcefulness that comedy sometimes gives, as a more successful counterpart to Pieces Of A Woman and culminates in a final segment with a treatment rarely seen on these themes and absolutely moving.
