A clever, smart comedy about the side effects of what the overuse of cell phone could have on your life. And not speaking of your health; The story of an ordinary man whose world entirely collapses: wife, child, home, everything. In some sequences you really Wonder if it is a comedy that you have to deal with, or a drama. Brilliantly played by an actor from a well known TV show and other actresses such as the gorgeous Géraldine Pailhas, you spend here a pure entertaining moment.

Yes, a more intelligent film that it seems at first sight.

Great directing with taut action scenes that you may not expect from this kind of feature.

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, SMS is not a good title as the story is bigger than this : it's about reaching the end of a cycle and starting another one. From this point of view, the story is similar to the previous disaster movie from Benegui - Mauvais Genre. Indeed, the time when everything goes wrong is rather electric and maybe a bit painful as this poor guy had really nothing left to lost

However, the movie is rather uneven : the kidnapping, the crazy brother, etc aren't not really interesting but then, the movie has the luminous and warming appearance of Géraldine : she is always good with her savior, helpful characters, all the more than here she teases a lot Up now, his partner was obscure for me thus for one time, we have someone else than the dreadful well feed cattle (except for the crazy brother). In addition, his adventure offers something else than the Parisian hollow, soporific lives of the BoBos!

Finally, this is not the french movie of the year, there is a lot of things that don't work right but this phoenix adventure with angelic Géraldine can be watched.
