A Pain in the Ass (2008)

Original movie 1973, Buddy Buddy is a remake...

[16 June 2009]

If you carefully watch the "full Cast and Crew" for "Buddy, Buddy", you can notice that the original play and the screenplay are from Francis VEBER, who also wrote the original screenplay of the 1973 movie by Edouard MOLINARO. Chronologically : 1973 - L'Emmerdeur, by Edouard MOLINARO / 1981 - Buddy, Buddy by Billy WILDER / 2008 - L'Emmerdeur, by Francis VEBER. So, before "noticing" that a movie reminds you of another movie, and maybe suggest that it is a "copy", please go through the "full cast and credits" and READ the names of the people who wrote the screenplay, or the original book or play... This could avoid some unneeded comments. Thank you.

RRRrrrr!!! (2004)

Funny, but nothing spectacular

[6/10 · 19 January 2004]

Just been invited to a preview of the movie, yesterday evening. There are some funny scenes and situations, but the audience never EXPLODED in laughter, like in "Astérix et Obélix Mission Cléopatre", also by Alain CHABAT. Swiss people can be quite fussy about funny movies, we do not always laugh for the same reasons as the Frenchmen, who actually MAKE these movies... But we still did laugh...
