User Reviews

Another "not very funny" french comedy

It has been the theme of 2015: french comedies were not really funny. Which is an issue when you do a ... comedy.

The characters are stereotypes. I guess it helps the setup be camped faster and get into this "Visiteurs" type of time travel to 1986. However the movie never does anything with that time travel: 1986 is not used that much as a set up for jokes and the return to adolescence for the two star actors (well at least in France) never is utilized for good.

The movie clips along nicely, is never boring or long, but it's never really funny or interesting. A big PASS
