Chouchou (2003)
Delightful Gad :)
19 April 2004
Just as Gad Elmaleh's sense of humor, this comedy is light and poetic. Dealing with serious subjects such as homo and transsexuality, immigration, integration, without ever falling into the usual clichés, always thinking positive. Plus hearing Gad faking a moroccan accent is so nice, like he often does in his one man shows. Reminds me of my moroccan friends... It creates many occasions for smart and funny puns with the french language. That's so his style.

Alain Chabat is excellent as usual, what a Prince Charming he makes, lol ! Liked Catherine Frot and Claude Brasseur too. I don't know why I expected them to become mean with Chouchou any minute, but they were adorable too. Roschdy Zem in an unusual role, he was great too.

This is not the best comedy ever, but I really liked the light tone and originality. Cute.
