On the Other Side of the Tracks

Not the best buddy movie I've seen (2 Guns comes to mind of late), but still a very enjoyable effort. Different people connecting sort of. And because this is french/European, it does not skip on the nudity. Something a US remake probably would do, especially considering what target audience they'd want to reach with it.

One of our main actors is on his way to produce a lot of movies, especially since his very successful turn in "Intouchables" (english title). A very good movie, but also something that might come back to haunt him. A friend of mine didn't like his effort here and thinks he will be eaten and chewed off in a matter of months. Doing movies no one will want to see and delivering performances that are not good at all. That's a grim view, almost as grim as the bad guys that have to be fought in this movie. If you look upon it as a small little comedy, you might be able to enjoy yourself. If you try to compare it to "Intouchables", you won't!
