Trivia:

When Therrien is in the mascot in front of the mirror with the gun, at one point he turns around and yells "Ah-ha!" This is a spoof of a series of Quebec commercials for a local drugstore called Familiprix. In every commercials, someone gets in a situation where he gets hurt or sick, and a pharmacist in a white lab coat appears yelling "Ah-ha! Familiprix!". The pharmacist is played by 'Sylvain Marcel', who plays the role of Luc Therrien.

Quotes:

Luc Therrien: [in front of a mirror wearing mascot costume] Are you talkin' to me? Huh? Are you talkin' to me?
[Luc tries to leave the bathroom but runs head on into a wall]

Best movie of the summer!

This movie is brilliant! I was not only laughing my head off as I walked out of the cinema, but I was also bursting with pride. To think that this idea sat on the shelves for so long before Patrick Huard decided to do it... A movie made by the same director as New Rouge could only be so good. Pat is so funny, hilarious, and hot, and I've grown fond of Colm Feore. I think a lot of Quebecois can find and recognize themselves in that movie, and I hope it's the same for Ontarians, maybe. I saw it last week and I will go see it again. It's a shame it isn't show as widely outside of the province of Quebec, I'm sure a whole lot of English Canadians can get a good laugh out of it. It manages to make fun of Quebec, Ontario, and the ridiculous rivalry between the two, all while staying in good taste. A jewel! I loved it.
