Just perfect...
Excellent but underrated film
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Pretty silly and pretty absurd indeed. Just great (bloody) fun. A dark comedy that does not take itself too serious. That's also something that could be criticized of course and depending on your taste or mood you will just do that. Hopefully though you can enjoy it as much as I and some other people did.Actually I'm surprised that there hasn't been an US Remake of this (though it seems that there is a South Korean movie/remake). The pace is pretty good, the jokes come pretty quickly, so you don't too much time to think things through. And again, this is not a movie, that is grounded in Reality. It's supposed to be a fun ride, that is there for those who are not easily offended and/or faint hearted!
What happens if a women (bestseller krimi writer) decide to invite all her boyfriends, for a dinner, to choose a husband? All four knows that they become opponents, and to get the desired women they might hurt each other. I guessed this will be the outcome. But movie makers have a bigger fantasy. Claire, the heroine, (no not the drug) kills them one by one. Accidents happen all the time, but so fatal ones! So funny that hurts! Than the police arrives in the figure of the usual police duo: a small stupid, and the tall ice cold look detective. When the police left arrives the party, with all components of it: dancing men and women, most of them drunken, or in a deep depression. They find the dead grooms, but don't discover them. After the party comes to an end, the two robbers arrive. Than the detectives back.The movie ends with a good outcome, you think. The dead bodies disappear and everybody goes home, police leave, ST as the robbers. But than comes the last twist the last joke not to forget the beginning.So go to the video store and enjoy!
Though the title might imply the movie being a bad porn flick, it actually turns out to be yet another pearl of French cinema.Claire's 35th birthday is coming up and she has strongly decided to get married. She invites three substantial grooms for dinner, with the goal of choosing one of them as her future husband. The evening doesn't go exactly as planned and as one thing leads to another; soon Claire's apartment has turned into a house of horrors as more bodies start piling up in Claire's bathtub.This movie once again proves how better movies are made when profit is not the only goal to achieve. The story is absolutely brilliant! What makes the movie even more amazing is that it's set in one apartment and all the events happen during one night. It's one of those movies that when you come out of the cinema it feels like it lasted only half an hour, but in reality was an hour and a half.Director/script writer James Huth has done a brilliant job in organizing everything so that everything works perfectly and the audience can't stop laughing. There are no unnecessary moments and every scene leads to another, even funnier one. And yes, do watch this one before they make the American version.
This film was shown as a premiere during a French cinema festival in Amsterdam. The summary in the guide said something about the film being similar to Pulp Fiction and John Long Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and that's how far I got reading.You can imagine I didn't expect what I was going to see, but it amused me anyway. The humor is very black and very gory, so this is no movie for the faint-hearted ones. If you don't mind this, you can do nothing but laugh at the absurd, Funes-like situations caused by the main character. The plot is quite original and undergoes unexpected twists, which with the great special effects (both visual and aural) give the film a certain freshness. This did me remind of Pulp Fiction.I was sitting with about ten people in the theater, but I can assure we had the time of our lives, laughing at the absurd but funny atrocities throughout the film!
