Gaston gets hired as an intern. With its wacky inventions he puts the daily life of his colleague's on stilts. Our brilliant hobbyist experience crazy adventures with a cat, a gull, a cow and the Flat Vid Phone.
This is a fun film and they did a quite decent job where it comes to incorporating the main elements of the comic strip. In essence Gaston is a bone idle idiot (talking about the comic strip here) with the occasional stroke of genius who lives in a world of his own. If they did anything wrong here, it's that they gave the film too much of a plot, made DeMesmaeker evil and tried to give the contracts a reason. Oh, and they could have made Gaston a bit lazier: after all in one of the strips he is awakened at his desk, early in the morning, having slept there all through the night and his enthousiastic reaction is: "Make sure you put it down as overtime".
