A little disappointment
10 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I was somewhat disappointed by this movie. Yes, the jokes are great and well delivered, yes the actors are great and convincing, and yes we can sometimes relate ourself to the character. But while the official description stated that this movie was about: "[...]three men who try to reach happiness and tranquility, harmony between the instinct and the reason." (from the official site) there is nowhere near the start of a struggle, they just give up to their (sexual) instincts. There is no twist in the story, the ending can be guessed as soon as the characters were presented, and while a great conclusion could have saved the movie, the one in the movie just feel rushed. At the end, it becomes more a movie about trust and lies than a movie about paternity.

But, that movie has the courage of trying to talk about the relationship between the men and the paternity, and while I think they mostly failed, at least they have the merit of trying. And even if that movie is way too hopeless, it will make you think (and probably have a good discussion about it with your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend).

And, maybe, just maybe, my expectations were too high, because "Quebec-Montreal", the previous movie of the writers, was such a great movie! And I hope they will make soon another movie!
