cliché after cliché
4 July 2008
i would recommend anyone to avoid it... i seldom leave a movie before the end: i am always curious to see if they will finally improve and if the end is not worth being seen. well, that time, it was too much. this movie is built on clichés: clichés on french people (may 68, sex, talking about sex, flirting and sex, taxi drivers...), clichés on American people (paranoia, hypochondria...). being french myself, i could not identify to any of the french character. maybe because i am not from Paris (but my Parisian friends are not like that), or because i am not from the same generation, nor from the same cultural background. i didn't understand if the purpose of the movie was to be a great satire on "bobo" Parisian people (if it was the case, it was not very subtle), or if it was just bad. in any case, i can't understand what people like in the movie. i found nothing funny in that succession of exaggerated scenes (hardly any of them was realistic to me). maybe it got better in the end but i could not stand it so i left...
