Madame Irma
2006 Comedy
Review
After some near misses in recent years, the good ship Didier Bourdon
has finally struck an iceberg. Watching Madame Irma, his latest directorial
adventure, is like watching a once-loved old steamship being swallowed
up by the deep blue sea. A disaster movie, but not in the usual
sense of the term, there is little to engage the spectator and plenty
to give offence. Didier Bourdon and Pascal Légitimus, two
members of the popular comedy team Les Inconnus, appear strangely
adrift in this film, which offers few, if any, laughs, and is directed
with the same aimless, lethargic sense of muddle that is so apparent in
the unimaginative script. An ill-conceived film, badly
realised, and about as funny as slab of concrete.

When he loses his job as a well-paid manager in a large company,

a job. Out of desperation, he decides to consult a fortune teller
to see what the future holds for him. This experience gives him a
