The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I am surprised that people have rated this film at a measly 5 out of 10 on average ( my own rating is a solid 7 out of 10 & I only very rarely rate a movie higher than 7) - IMO its a "gem in the rough" i.e. it has its flaws (such as the weird ending that felt like it was only one half of the movie) but to counter that it has many redeeming features such as originality of script, decent acting and camera-work, some hilarious moments (e.g. the fake singing dog), some great b-movie gore and special effects etc ... - the flying alien "shrub" monsters with tentacles capable of decapitating (or sucking the face off) any unfortunate sole to encounter them were some of the coolest and most original B-movie monsters I've seen for quite a while - comes highly recommended in my book

Well ... seeing it you can think that there will be something, you're saying to yourself there has to be something ... There is no! let's put it another way. You probably felt on one of those fantastic TV movies one day, the Z series ones, when you are so desperate that you are even watching it! This movie is worst than those. It looks like they tried to make one of them, but they missed the point! If they can be good sometimes, it's because they're thinking seriously of themselves and this create this unique ambiance. Nothing like that in there.To put a long story short, save your time, read TV magazine, DO SOMETHING ELSE! but if you really have to, then keep the remote nearby.Yours truly ;)

Not the usual movie, it belongs to this kind of movie that you love or hate. I belong to the first category.Definitivly worth a try. Someones rightfully mentioned bad taste - been a long time i have not heard about that movie - and while the two movies are rather different, they both belongs to the comedy/horror genre.I found myself laughing a lot watching the movie, and being surprised every here and there by references i would have not expected to found (i'm not going to spoil but there are many). Benoit is just excellent as an abusing impresario and despite i found Vanessa acting not as good, she shines as a singer and the overall ambiance and story had hooked enough to come here to comment about it.While i think this movie deserve a notation around 7-8 i gave him a 10 to balance the love/hate effect that lead many to gave it a 1.

In a nutshell - yet another french movie that has no clue as to what humor is and in frustration just exaggerates every possible thing to the point where it gets old and sh***y in less that 0.4 seconds. From a comment on IMDb I actually got the impression that similarly done movies in the 80's were actually a zhanra of its own. Spare me the explanation, please! It was one of the 5 movies I saw at the Horror Film Festival in San Sebastian this year and it was definitely the worst one. You basically just want it to end as soon as possible because it's actually just to annoying to watch. No sense or grasp of logical event timing in the movie at all, just throwing bits by bits of more and more crazy and crappy stuff at the viewer, just bad. Recommend - to people you don't like very much or if you want to impress someone with your bad taste in movies. 2/10
