Too much of everything

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Well, i have watched this movie for 3 reasons : Geraldine, Dujardin & Alexandra, Las Vegas. For every reason, it was a disappointment. Geraldine has less than 1 minute of appearance ; Chouchou & Loulou are an old grumpy couple that recalls Cruise and Kidman in Kubrick's movie. Las Vegas segment is a total failure: we can't really cruise the sin city as they stay in their hotel room. And the fact that the movie uses the same "showgirls" frame for Cheetah Club doesn't change anything!Beyond that, the movie is dumb and stupid (especially the end) as it mixes the macho vulgarity for fun with the most depressive drama. The idea to have the same actors doing plenty of characters is rather original but my binary mind can't laugh and cry in the same time ! In other words, they should have choose one tone (eeither comedy, either drama) and stick with this !

I think the only way you wouldn't be able to enjoy this movie is if you have been loyal to your partner for a long time and feel envious of the characters. This movie takes us to some brilliant scenes with fantastic one liners through out. The movie flows between comedy and drama, and balances the two perfectly. Just when things start to get serious the movie throws you a fantastic joke, I can't remember laughing out loud so much at a movie. The comedy doesn't drown out the character development and I found myself attracted to the personalities. The are engaging and interesting and you want to know more about them. The psychology of the relationships between characters captures you in the movie. It is quite philosophical in a way but the comedy stops you over thinking. The body language in the movie is very good, there is one scene with a kid at the table with their kid doing homework. The two characters stare blankly at each other and you just know what they're both thinking, it's beautiful imagery and the cinematography is to a high level throughout.This film wasn't directed to casually which it could have quite easily been with the plot. There were some intense emotions but it remained extremely funny from start to finish. If you're 40+ and led a boring life this probably isn't for you but otherwise I honestly can't see how you couldn't enjoy this movie. It's easy to watch and the perfect movie if you're looking for a great laugh with friends. The ending is so funny too, the thriller photo made me laugh way past the credits. I really recommend this movie, don't let the reviews put you off!

this film is actually very hollow to portray two sexual driven french guys whose only desire was to fornicate any average pretty woman they encountered any time and any place. they both were married but simply couldn't keep their zippers up. they were night prowlers in all the nightclubs or even in the daytime attending seminars. there were so many unnecessary ugly sexual intercourse scenes that only the wild monkeys would do. the whole movie was trying to categorize itself in the comedy genre but not even one moment you'd have a feeling to smile or laugh. if you think it's drama, then it was too shallow. two guys were prescribed by the screenplay as two attractive males to women, but with these two casting, only the movie by itself could make them attractive to women. they were just average males with average looks, yet the script endowed one of them so popular with women and most of time he could score, while the other usually by passed by most women. this is a very pathetic movie that was so tasteless and boring to the extreme. and i really don't know what made this screenplay to be approved into production. there's no purpose at all to have another pointless movies churned out from the french movie industries. the investors who invested on this shallow movie simply lost more than the movie goers who just wasted a few bucks. a movie you shouldn't go to theater to watch, not even worth renting the DVD.

The movie made big waves even before it hit the international cinema screens, because someone leaked the fact that a movie poster got held back because it was inappropriate and would have diminished Jean Dujardins chances of winning the Oscar (or was it just a publicity stunt?). The movie itself might be able to live off that controversy at first, but even after a few "shocking" moments at first, it'll have to stand on its own two feet (pun not intended).Dujardin and his partner (in crime) here show a real passion for that project. They go places you might expect them to go. But even if only Dujardin is on your radar (the other actor being very famous in France too), it is a lack of emotion for both characters and the triviality of the whole thing, that might make you want to stop watching it. The overall idea was nice and I still kind of like it, but it's anything but special ...
