Review
Ole! photo
Florence Quentin’s second film is a marginal improvement on her first abysmally lightweight offering J’ai faim!!! (2001) but still has very little to commend it.  Even the promise of such talented performers as Gad Elmaleh, Gérard Depardieu and Sabine Azéma fails to make up for the rambling, very silly narrative and the most tediously caricatured characterisation.  It’s not quite death by boredom, but it comes pretty close.
