Awesome Movie

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Not the best of Johnny Hallyday's work as an actor (that's "L'homme du train ",2002),not is worst (that's "Terminus",1987). Johnny Hallyday and Fabrice Luchini already appeared both in "Conseil de famille"(Costa-Gavras,1986). Nice comedy with great soundtrack (for fans of J.H.) with a larger- than-life Luchini and some self-mockery from Hallyday. This movie could be seen as the little french cousin of the Schwarzenegger action-comedy "Last Action Hero".In both movies a fan spend time with is idol who's unaware of his idol status.

Just saw it tonight on TV. It is a good comedy worth watching it on TV at least, but this is definitely not ''Diner de cons''. Just to some who claim that Johnny didn't play well Jean-Phillip Smet I've just have to say that Jean-Phillip Smet is the real name of Johnny Hallyday. I guess it is why it is not much emphases on that assuming that french audience already know that.Frankly it is all about that, you must know a little about the French pop culture as other actor are doing small cameos. In that point of view you really got to know how a big stars Johnny is in reality so the ending is more meaningful. All the thing Fabrice tell him about what he should have done are real events part of history. Just for finish Johnny is at first a singer but for several years now he is a full fledge actor and his movie are not all about him playing himself he is able to do other stuff too just as Fabrice Luchini. I guess if the rights are sold to make an Hollywood's flicks you could have a big stars still alive like Billy Joel or Neil Diamond someone a little bit cheesy but still big with a truckloads of die hard fans.

Having now watched it on Belgian (French)TV it's like having watched it on a 'plane ("free" in a kind of way) but I'd never pay to see it... The only time I've enjoyed seeing celebrities playing themselves was in that ancient movie "Around The World In Eighty Days" - you know, where Marcel Marceau actually spoke a word. Nor did many others say much. Johnny was 'introduced' in the film as an unknown "60-year old" - he looked more like 72 - so the makeup department were obviously under no pressure to conform. There was no originality in Hallyday's role; who else could he be, even in some parallel universe - in France and the francophone world? Given the fact he's sold virtually no records in the UK or the USA I can't see any story/style/communication that would connect outside France etc.If, as some have said, that the same scenario could be built around Cliff Richard, it would be for the Monthy Python team to construct it. The difference is that Python probably wouldn't want Sir Cliff used in person in such a production.

I saw this film on a flight from Paris to JFK. I was so intrigued I watched it three times. Yes, three times. It's a "parallel universe" story with such an interesting twist - the final beat is just amazing, and I won't give it away here.The story had a few problems, but the acting was so honest and earnest and very, very funny, that they could be easily forgiven. Big, huge jokes.After viewing it the first time I asked the French gentleman next to me if he knew the movie. He said he did and explained who the principals were, which made the film the second time even MORE clever.Congratulations to the filmmakers and thanks for making an otherwise horrible transatlantic flight pleasurable.
