Vive la vie
2005 Comedy   

 

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.
