Very well executed

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This film had the potential, the idea was good, the budget is there, the actors are there, all you need is a good script, but no, I forced myself to laugh, but the closest I could get is cringes.My friend highly recommended this one for me, and since I don't understand French, I got it English-subbed. But it wasn't worth all the trouble.This has a second part, which I am pretty sure won't even consider. 3/10, to recycle bin.

It is the story of the worst high-school of France with the worst teachers in the world. the film began on graduation day when they discover that the Jules Ferry high-school has beaten the worst A Level score. When the Education Minister got the news, he decided to call "the worst teachers for worst students".After all, every film has plus points and negative points.This one give us an exaggerated vision of the behavior of the teachers but whatever happens, it is a very enjoyable comedy film who has a far- fetched screenplay and so funny scenes that you will have tears in your eyes.So, it is a must-see movie!

The worst thing you can do with a French comedy is try to take it seriously. Pomposity gets you nowhere. Suspend disbelief, tuck your tongue firmly in your cheek and go along for the ride! I've seen my share of outstandingly bad French comedy, just as there are bad British or American comedies out there. But this one, drawn from a comic of the same title, made me laugh out loud repeatedly on what had started as a very bad day (not to mention the night before). Part of the fun was seeing so many French actors I recognised from other films, comic as well as serious: Isabelle Nanty is hysterical as the English teacher (when did she work at my school?), Arnaud Ducret of "Parents: Mode D'Emploi" fame had me in stitches as the gym teacher (I swear I've had that guy in my class!) and who would have thought Phillipe Duclos, the "bad guy" from Spirale, could be so funny as the hapless principal?Yes, it is silly. Yes, the ending is a bit "out there" (but no more so than say, "9 to 5"). I can cite more than a dozen or so big "comedy blockbusters" from American studios that didn't make me laugh once. Watching this film was like porking out on chocolate chip cookies and junk food; I wouldn't want to do it every day, but today it was just what I needed.

With such a deep cast and a potentially quite comical premise, one could have expected something better than this pseudo comedy where nothing works. The movie boils down to a completely disjointed succession of uninteresting scenes, often badly filmed, where the humor is off and where almost all the gags fall flat. The actors try to keep the movie afloat, though their performance are quite uneven: Isabelle Nanty for example is particularly good while Kev Adams is just plain bad. But, overall, how can you blame them when the script and the mise-en-scène are so weak ? With Les Profs, the French cinematographic creation hits rock bottom...
