This review can't possibly contain plot spoilers as there was no plot.
Acting was average at best.
Singing was just awful. I didn't even know it was a musical (term used loosely here) until someone started 'singing'.
The storyline was largely incoherent and when it was coherent it was criminally bad.
We, along with virtually everyone else, left the cinema before it finished so I don't know how it ended but I can guarantee that it was terrible unless the final scene was Ashton Kutcher revealing that we had all been Punk'd.
All in all it was very disappointing, if slightly unintentionally hilarious, and a poor representation of the French film industry
