Not bad
30 August 2023
I am French, although my current place of residence is not within France's borders. Just recently, I had the opportunity to watch the film that had eluded me until now. Interestingly, I was blissfully ignorant of the critiques that had swirled around its release in France. As it turns out, the film proved to be a delightful comedy upon viewing-a fact that left me puzzled by the seemingly relentless criticism it had garnered.

While I won't go as far as to dub it the cinematic masterpiece of the year, it unquestionably provides an enjoyable and pleasant viewing experience. The film, while not soaring to the heights of cinematic greatness, manages to carve out a space for itself as an evening's entertainment. In light of this, I remain perplexed by the intensity of the backlash it faced upon release.

The ensemble cast brings a mix of talents to the screen, with some actors shining brighter than others. I must admit that my familiarity with all the actors is not exhaustive, but I can certainly vouch for the varying degrees of performance quality among them. It's a reminder that movies are, at their core, a collaborative art form, and the final product can be greatly influenced by the chemistry and synergy among the cast members.

In contrast to the latest offerings from the Marvel universe, I find myself leaning towards recommending this film. Not because it boasts the grandeur of a superhero epic, but because it delivers on the promise of a well-crafted and enjoyable comedic experience. So, if you're in the mood for a light-hearted cinematic journey that doesn't demand the investment of an expansive interconnected universe, this film might just be the perfect choice.
