An average movie

Posted : 13 years, 2 months ago on 13 January 2011 12:16

I wasn’t really sure what to expect front his flick but since I have a weak spot for Robin Williams, I thought I might as well check it out. In fact, I found out later on that this movie was a remake of one of these many French comedies starring Gérard Depardieu and  Pierre Richard. When I was a kid, I was a big fan of Pierre Richard but I didn’t see ‘Les compères’ and, eventually, I'm rather curious to see now the French original version, just to check if it was  better than this really underwhelming American remake. I mean, sure,  Robin Williams and Billy Crystal both can be pretty funny and there were, indeed, a few good scenes in this movie but most of it was just rather boring. Indeed, the premise was just lame and the movie didn't succeed in making it funny or entertaining. For many who were expecting some fireworks because Robin Williams and Billy Crystal were working together for this comedy, they were seriously disappointed. Concerning Ivan Reitman, after ‘Junior’, it was another flop and the rest of his career would turn out to be rather underwhelming. To conclude, even though I have seen worse, it was still a rather weak comedy and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
