Konterr Brilliant and touching

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

lisa-561 I enjoyed this French teenage flick thoroughly. I saw it in Aspen during the comedy festival alongside 30 people who laughed their heads off. The humor is witty and travels well. There is a fair deal of gross out humor but not too much. It's not the point. The movie is of a higher quality than usual teenage flicks although it definitely belongs to the genre. I recognized some actors from Amelie and Jean-Pierre Jeunet films. The film's fast paced, colorful, the soundtrack is outstanding with some major A list US artists. Nice South of France locations and caricatures of the French. The audience at the end of the screening was thrilled, smiling and excited. We just wished it did not end!

james-903 The film overall is funny, witty and well shot. It has some hilarious moments of which I'd pick two: through the intercom the two heroes manage to infuriate a man who thinks it's his girlfriend who's just left him playing a trick on him. He throws all her stuff out the window, from the 6th floor excluding nothing of her belongings including... her cat. The two heroes feel realllly sorry and tiptoe away... The other moment I found particularly funny is when one of the heroes, a rural beauty salon hairdresser, after involuntarily gobbling a handful of E starts tripping and cuts and blows dry a lamp shade in the middle of a posh trendy Parisian party, then starts dancing like he's possessed by some demon. That was really very funny. I enjoyed the sweet moments as well between the boys and the girls, how the characters reveal themselves along the story, the beautiful feelings of friendship and love displayed. I also enjoyed the pro-nature message of the movie. One good and cute little movie you cannot but enjoy if you like to laugh and if you have a big heart.

Marion88 At first I thought another attempt by the French to make a teenage comedy, a genre at which they are not very good. This story of young guys from the countryside who team up with street kids of African origin to avenge the misconducts of a young racist Parisian is a good surprise. It has some unforgettable hilarious scenes. The story is fast and has some provocative and unpredictable twists, including a powerful love tale. Formally the movie is fast paced with many set ups and cuts. The art direction is good, the stunts are OK with some brilliant physical comedy. The photography is sometimes stunning in the countryside, sometimes dull in the city. Once the movie starts, I found myself wondering what on earth is this, and then I got caught in the story. I laughed a lot alongside the few spectators in the theater, some of them seemed to be real hardcore fans of the movie. It has a style of its own, a bit unsettling at times, certainly unseen before. It's never boring, as some French movies can be. The movie benefits from a good score and excellent songs, lots of punk rock and reggae. So all in all it has a French Guy Ritchie's movie flair, with more love, more passion and less cynicism. Some young actors are stunning, the young Jim Carrey-like hairdresser who trips on too much ecstasy, the young fascist villain, the black roommate who loves grass, and the young and heartbroken Parisian girl are great. Among the vast number of guest stars look out for Richard Bohringer, I have not seen him that good for a long time. I also think it is Ticky Holgado's last movie.

zazoomovie This comedy was a tiny little slow to start, but it turned out to be a funny, plaisant and moving moment to share with those excellent actors on the screen.Maurice lives with his single mom in a humble house and works on a farm and has a gift : his ability to communicate with animals. He is simple, honest and has a lot of integrity, although more "sophisticated" people living in the village enjoy mocking him.One evening he "borrows" his employer's car to drive to a party where he and his hair stylist friend have committed to play the music and sing. And here comes trouble... The employer's brand new car is damaged by a drunk, racist Parisian yuppie lacking manners who drives away. Fortunately, the yuppie's Parisian girlfriend has left Maurice her business card.Maurice and his hairstylist friend decide to go to the capitale to get money from the Parisian crazy driver to fix the damaged car. That's when the movie starts cruising nicely, full of gags, misunderstandings and imbroglios around the Parisian couple, Maurice's employer's son, who happens to be a "medical" student taking drama classes, and youngster crossing their path.The movie is about lifestyles (countryside vs urban), value systems (pursuing personal goals vs respecting others and solidarity) and generation conflicts (lack of real communication).Light, entertaining and healthy nutty evening. 7/10
