C'est la vie Reviews

To be honest, I didn’t know anything from this flick so I had no idea what to expect from it and I actually ended up watching the damned thing because my sister bought me this movie on DVD. Well, first of all, even though ‘Intouchables’ is a decent flick, I still think it must be one of the most overrated movies ever made. Well, even if this movie won’t become a huge box-office, I have to admit that it was still a decent directing effort from Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano. As far as I’m concerned, after 5 minutes with Jean-Pierre Bacri, I was pretty much sold already. Indeed, I always had a weak spot for this actor and it was just a treat to see a comedy starring this guy after so many years. It was also pretty neat that they gave a rather realistic view on how such a large and fairly luxury wedding might go and how it is experienced by the staff. Concerning the rest of the movie, I’m afraid there were just too many characters involved and most of them were reduced to some one-note jokes. Concerning the jokes, it was rather hit-and-miss and, to make things worse, they kept repeating the same jokes over and over again which was obviously rather tiresome. Anyway, to conclude, I have to admit that my rating might have been slightly generous for this flick but it was not bad and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
