Don't listen to the negative reviews

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This movie is extremely underrated, even in France. The movie could be seen as a very witty and enjoyable essay on cinema as a grammar, with its hidden or unspoken but so tyrannical rules, as any other grammar. It surely will seem awful or to heavily didactic (in a "grammar of films for dummies" way) anyway to any non-native french speaker, unaware of the disarming subtlety of french ingenuous humor, especially the one Baffie practices. Its slogan on the poster as published in France was : "N'y allez pas, c'est une merde!", literally translated : "Don't go see it, it's crap!"... This sufficiently proves how Baffie likes to mock himself, but also the critics (especially the french ones), who do not hesitate to frequently utter not so different flat negative statements about movies, especially when it comes to french comedies...

The movie is a blast, i have never watched anything like this before.Most of the person i have seen the movie with was totally disappointed.They were expecting a funny movie.However it worked on me.It s not a question about french jokes or what, it s the way Baffie makes it. Insolent, pitiful, stupid??? Maybe, but according to me, the movie will get a better public later on. It s like a Van Gogh creation, people will admire it few years later.At least a risk-taker.I was told that the director was really affected by the french public rejects.I'm proud not to be one of them.Mr Baffie, keep on!And even if the trailer said 'dont go watching it, it s a crap !', its an original.Can we have some more?

Although there were actually people who left half an hour after the movie started, I loved it. The movie's for those who want to see how these things work "backstage". Baffie provided all the details about how the movie industry works: the producers, the actors, plot development, everything. It is an excellent example of any of "The Making of..." short films you usually see as a bonus on a DVD. It is a totally absurd film, made by an impertinent, reckless and blatant TV hero, and this is what makes it even more interesting, despite the fact that almost all the french movie stars appear as guests.A wonderful debut.

The movie is an homage to La Nuit Américaine of François Truffaut. But in a more goofy way. After that Laurent Baffie gave the definition of a good movie (It must have action, romance, children, animals, gags, a happy ending and so on), he's trying to make one. And he's not really successful at it. According to his main actor. Les Clefs de Bagnole is full of references, cameos and special guests. I found it quite clever considering that Baffie's TV career is mostly based on bad "under the belt" jokes. It's a journey, a quest like the search for the Holy Grail (only this time it's car keys). He likes people, actors and cinema. After that movie, you can tell. I gave it a solid Seven because it made me laugh out loud several times.
