Synopsis
The head of a successful company that makes video games, Richard has everything a middle-aged man could want.  But when his wife leaves him he falls into a depression that makes him feel his life is worthless.  After an ill-fated rencontre with a model who, like him, is going through a mid-life crisis, he meets up with Rachid, an entertainer in a hospital.  Through Rachid, Richard discovers a new lease of life...


Film Review
Not for the first time, Didier Bourdon finds himself saddled with a misfired comedy.  Don’t bother looking for the jokes - what few there are require you to have an I.Q. in the low teens to find them remotely funny, and the plot, what there is of it, seems to have been hastily cobbled together by someone waiting to cross the road.  Tedious, infantile and totally lacking in charm, Vive la vie has truly earned its place in the bargain basement of French comedy.
