Laurent Lafitte's directorial debut is not great but it still has qualities showing that the comedian has potential as a director.
The film was well shot and didn't always follow the stereotypical cinematography in comedy movies which was something I did not expect.
The acting was pretty solid as every actor did a good job with their performance.
The score was also pretty nice to hear and it was discreet enough so it wasn't distracting. It was well composed, well produced and it was used in a very pleasant way.
Some jokes were really funny and some others gave me a chuckle here and there but the majority is pretty unfunny and really awkward at times.
The most unpleasant ones were jokes that were undirectly referring to r*pe. In the movie you have the context that the character does not have the will to actually r*pe someone and it constructs the joke as a misunderstanding from the other character involved. It was still super unconfortable to watch... The execution of this type of joke and others could have been executed in a different way because they fell flat most of he time and were really embarrassing as is.
I was never bored during this movie because the directing, score and acting are pretty solid and are holding the film but the humour is hit or miss and cringe at times.
I'll check Lafitte's next directorial effort to see if he can progress as director.
