La Fête des pères
1990 Comedy / Romance
Review
Not only is the film not remotely funny, it is also hideously offensive to anyone with
an IQ greater than 5. Who in their right minds would cast Thierry Lhermitte and
Alain Souchon as a gay couple? At least the two actors are sufficiently canny not
to descend to the obvious stereotypes, but even so they are totally unconvincing and
do little to endear themselves to the audience. Add to that a totally diabolical
piece of scriptwriting, whose flaws the complacent direction can only emphasise, and what
you get is a pretty ghastly cinematic experience. What an empty, time-wasting piece
of nonsense. There ought to be a law against this kind of thing.
