Trafic is about an auto-developer who makes the ultimate campervan and is taking it to an car show in Ansterdam. His promotions girl is going with him in a sports car, and she seems to be a very reckless individual, at one stage causing a huge motor accident. The inventor travels with the van, which has been stored in the back of a truck.
Trafic is essentially a road movie, and is quite predictable as well. It is obvious from the beginning that they were not going to make the motor show - it just seemed to be that way. Also, parts of the film were confusing, especially the scene after the huge motor accident - I was not sure who was doing what and what was happening. The characters seemed to always be at a distance, and as such we never got to meet them. They were preoccupied with their own problems and seemed to shield themselves from the viewers. As such it was more like watching a group of people that we do not know going about their day to day lives, and at the end of the movie, we still don't feel that we know them.
Still the humour is reasonable. This movie is not what can be termed as a "barrel of laughs", but it does have its moments at times. I guess it is a reasonable movie, and the fact that it is French gives it its extra marks.
