Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Peter Ellis These four men have so much in common that you'd be forgiven for thinking that they weren't a four-man football (soccer) team.They show the friendship that men can have: Secrets, lies, and truth, in measures enough to make the friendship viable, even necessary.The ensemble of women around them make the men look like angels, at times, until you see the signs of the men's individual and collective guilt about some of what goes on among this extended friendship group: The character that seems best settled into bachelorhood turns out to be truly a modern male lover; love turns to dust and back again; what seems a shallow, flippant fling turns into real love; the one you like at first turns out to be a misogynist after all, or is he? The film has a little of almost everyone in it, so it resonates for us all.
lucacdo-1 This was a great movie: it offers an introspective trip in the feelings of men (male gender). The result is really great and never boring. The characters are great and actors perform very well. If you want to think a little, and in particular if you are a woman, you'll be glad to discover the sensitive side of many contemporary men. French men are similar to Italian men and this movie helps us understand that everywhere in the world (maybe in the old world in particular?) there is a wide range of different kinds of sensitive men who do not want to act like "macho" puppets. Moreover, this movie is not only for movie fanatics: you do not have to concentrate on every word otherwise you lose the depth of the story plot. My wife and I liked the show and simply had good time watching the DVD. Enjoy!
pvsp Prototype of the bad films, french can offer this days. The subject about the middle life crisis of urban executives is not only, very "Paris" oriented but also very poorly filmed. Cinematography and editing have no feeling, either of pictures or rhythm. The final product is not even close to the level of an average American TV-movie. Supposed take place in 2003, the film looks like it was made in the eighties. The story take months to start and then years to stop. Characters are very immature and so fr away from the real people they're supposed impersonating. The film is only saved by his lead cast. Bernard Campan is great, again, in an unexpected part. Darmon, Lavoine and Darroussin are, perfect, like always. Too bad, the director didn't take advantage of their work. Even with a weak script like that, Lelouch would have done a great job. It's a shame for french young cinematographers who can't get their projects done. Is this the only kind of films France has to offer nowadays ?
Sofad This is an excellent character-driven movie. A fantastic effort by rookie director Marc Esposito. The movie is about the complex relationships between men and women. If you liked the "taste of others" (le gout des autres) you will like this movie. Guaranteed. The characters are easy to get drawn to. At the end, we are left wanting more. A sequel, please Marc ;) Good movie, great acting, good plot. 8/10
